Greetings!
Thanks for your support during the 36 Hour Giving Challenge!
The 2013 36-Hour Giving Challenge was a very exciting day and a half! Some 287 organizations throughout the community benefited from this year's challenge and donations totaled $2.78 million - WOW!
SCOPE enjoyed an amazing partnership with Goodwill Manasota and featured our staff pet, Stella Scope, in the campaign. Through Stella Scope's Facebook page we reached more than 66,290 people. Making these connections in the community was one of our primary goals. In addition to all of the connections, through the generosity of friends and supporters, SCOPE received over $8000 in donations. Please accept our sincere thanks for your generous donations and support as SCOPE continues to connect and inspire citizens throughout Sarasota County.

We Rocked It!!!
WOW, my humans!! We really rocked this year's 36-Hour Giving Challenge!! I had such a tail wagging time representing SCOPE and Goodwill Manasota. I mean think of all the great places I went - SRQ airport, the beach, the playground and Legacy Trail. I'll never forget how awesome it felt to donate Mel the monkey and then go shopping at Goodwill Manasota! Read the rest on my blog here.

Data Byte: What Makes You Happy? |
What makes you happy? Over the past decade our community has looked at over one hundred indicators of community well-being, in domains ranging from Civic Participation and Economy to Transportation and Natural Environment. Using these data we've collected we have created Community Report Cards, People Count Reports and Community Study Reports to assess and share how we're  doing as a community in terms of overall well-being. Analyzing the data from a wide range of community indicators is important for us, the people of Sarasota County, because familiarity with and reflection on the data leads to better, more informed decision making. But what would the people of Sarasota County say about themselves?
Are we a happy county?

What could that mean? The email was intriguing enough to get UnidosNow's team thrilled about the idea of plugging in with SCOPE, especially considering UnidosNow's objective to further understand and develop the Latino community!
