Cheyenne's Greatest Day is 'The Day of Giving' May 10

Every community does what it can to take care of those in need. But Cheyenne takes a step above and beyond each year for it's Day Of Giving. It all began with one woman and a bone marrow transplant. That prompted her to think of others in need and how many different ways people might need help.

Cheyenne's Day Of Giving has grown into a large non-profit organization, led by Cheyenne churches, business and community groups. Their focus is on providing an opportunity for people in the Cheyenne area to come together in an effort to help the sick and the economically disadvantaged.

The group collects donations of cash and other needed items year-round, but once a year they set up an outdoor event so the entire city can show up and donate their hearts out.

The 14th Annual Cheyenne Day of Giving is May 10, 2019, at the Kiwanis Community House in Lions Park from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Simply drop off your donation and you'll be on your way.

Here are just a few of the ways you can help:
