ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Arkadelphia and Clark County residents will have an opportunity to stretch their charitable dollars by making online to the not-for-profit Baptist Health Medical Center-Arkadelphia through ArkansasGives.org from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 7.
The money given during that specific time and day will help the hospital earn extra bonus funds through the Arkansas Community Foundation. Last year ArkansasGives raised $2 million online in one day for more than 350 nonprofits statewide.
On April 7 the public will be able to give online from smartphones, tablets or personal computers by going to ArkansasGives.org, choosing Baptist Health Medical Center-Arkadelphia and making a credit card donation. In addition, ArkansasGives donors will help the hospital receive a portion of the bonus dollars and help them compete for additional cash prizes from First Security Bank.
