 Seriously, folks. What a day. We'll admit... it was a bit crazy at times (and not without some technical hiccups), but it was also so exciting, inspiring, and wildly successful. Overall, $20,120,336 was donated by 52,335 donors benefiting 5,756 nonprofits and schools across Minnesota (breaking last year's records!). WHOA! Here's how things went under the umbrella: 56 LOVERS OF NEW WORKWow! 56 awesome donors supported Savage Umbrella, SPACE, and adventurous new work throughout the big day of giving. So, so many other folks gave their support through retweets, shares, and hugs. Whatever you did to make it possible, whether it was dollars, good vibes, or kind words... thank you. You make new work possible. + $500 MATCHING GIFTThanks to a last minute lover of new work, we were able to have a matching gift for the day! Unfortunately, we weren't able to monitor the match while the GiveMN.org website was down, but that's okay because WE MADE IT! (In fact, I think we were only a few dollars away when the website first crashed at 8:33am!) + $100 SPECIAL BONUSOur incredible fiscal sponsor Springboard for the Arts added $100 every hour to a randomly selected donation to any of their Incubator projects. It's like an Incubator only golden ticket! And we snagged one in the early morning hours thanks to John and Michele Horton! <3 <3 <3 =$2,460 TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARSThank you for joining us under the umbrella!

WE HIT 1,000 LIKES ON FACEBOOK!
When we couldn't keep up on the GiveMN.org website during the day, we noticed that we had 999 likes on Facebook... so we thought, what if we could make it to 1,000 likes today? AND WE DID (1,018 to be exact)! Check out our Facebook to relive the excitement, see all our #MannequinChallenge sneak peek videos, and stay up-to-date on Savage Umbrella happenings.
