‘Shaking Out the Good Stuff’ — SOLA Giving Day Set for May 4th

There is some much negativity in the world these days, so we figured you could use some good vibes to balance all the yuck out.

So, every Monday morning on the Bruce & Jude show at 6:20 am, we'll bring you a new feature we're calling "Shaking Out the Good Stuff," with our friends at Morton Salt.

Let's bring you some feel-good for the week.

The annual SOLA Giving Day is set for 24 hours on Thursday, May 4, 2023. This day of donating is an event put on by the Community Foundation of Acadiana.

What is SOLA Giving Day?

SOLA Giving Day is an online fundraising tool offered to 501(c)3 nonprofits, churches, and schools serving South Louisiana. The event provides an easy-to-use platform that connects donors and dollars to organizations and their fund needs.

How can I give to an organization?
