Live PC Give PC

Live PC Give PC is an event which takes place over 24 hours when the community gives. The community donates money to their favorite non profit, and the organization gets a chance to collect prizes. This organization takes place online, which is where residents will donate their money. 

To donate, you are able schedule weeks in advance, but it will not be activated until the date of Live PC Give PC, which is November 7th. “The minimum donation is $10. There is no maximum donation limit,” according to Stacey Ann Roberts from Live PC Give PC. 

You do not need to make a special account to donate, unless you are donating weeks in advance. If you are donating weeks in advance, you have to make a “Razoo” account.

Volunteers for Live PC Give PC can host parties and gatherings dedicated to the organization to get the word out to the public. In 2012 the organization raised more than $600,000 and in 2013 they earned more than $800,000.

In interviews with students from Treasure Mountain, most said they had heard of Live PC Give PC, but did not know what it was. After explaining the program, 13/15 said they will “definitely donate."
Some of the organizations you can donate to are: Mountain Trails Foundation Inc., Friends of Animals Utah, National Ability Center, Park City Film Series, Park City Day School, Park City Education Foundation, and more. (All of these organizations are nonprofits). 

An extra $25 will be added to the donation of the first 500 people who donate. “Every nonprofit uses the funds raised for different reasons.  The only rule that LPC puts into place is that funds raised through this campaign must be used for programs in Summit County, UT.” says Stacey.
