Double your donation! If we raise $5,000 in the Great Give, the Board of Directors and other key supporters of the West & Rhode Riverkeeper will match that amount dollar for dollar.

And we could win the "Go Big" award -- an additional $1,000 as the nonprofit that that has the largest percentage increase in total dollars raised over last year's number.

Here's what we need you to do:

1. Between 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5, and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, log onto our page on the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County's GREAT GIVE web site and make a secure online donation.

It's easy! Just click here. Or copy and past this link in your web browser:

2. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter @westrhode for Great Give updates and to help build the buzz.

3. Spread the word! Forward this email to your family, friends and neighbors along with a personal note as to why you believe in our work, and why they should give during the Great Give on May 5-6.

As an added incentive, four lucky donors will receive tickets for two to this Saturday's "Muddy Bottom Barbecue" at Hartge Yacht Harbor to celebrate the 2nd annual Ride for the Rivers.

Thanks for your support!
