Season Of Giving 2018: Holiday Selfie Time!

Hello favorite Community!


If we are to believe big box stores, the holidays started some time in September. laugh

So it's September, can I put my tree up now meme with Will Farrell from Elf.


For the rest of us, we are now celebrating the holiday season as the year winds down. This means time with family, friends, and traditions for most.


That also means we're kicking off our third year of Season of Giving and this year we're focusing on giving back to you! 


For the next four weeks one of your friendly Blackbaud Community Managers will post a blog with that week's instructions so you can be entered to win a nifty prize.


Just as seasons past, we're keeping it simple so you have four chances to win! WOOT WOOT!

    Done, because I am getting into that holiday spirit!
  • The holidays = Family for me. Updated my profile picture with my family:)
  • My very first experience with a photo booth at an event was the staff party 2 years ago. Had a blast - terrible quality but such fun photos!
  • Just moving to BB now so this is my first photo.
  • Profile pic updated! Peyton was SO happy to meet Santa and was a wild child until it was time for his photo, when he sat and smiled perfectly for the camera!
  • <-- because we all need a little more Pusheen in our lives
  • I updated my profile picture which now shows my husband and I with our freshly cut Christmas Tree. Going to Urquhart's Tree Farm is a much beloved family tradition and encapsulates so many holiday memories!

    Oh so glad I asked someone to take my photo as I put my first decoration on the tree on Friday!!!!! Hope all of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a good one!
  • I updated my profile picture with a Christmas photo from a couple years ago!
  • Profile updated! One of my Christmas trees (yes, I have multiple) is a classic retro aluminum tree. My color wheel broke this year, but I purchased one of those cool kaleidoscope projectors and it's actually even better! It's absolutely magical at night. I love the nostalgia with a modern update. 
  • I am the one on the right in this picture. This was taken as part of our museum's 2017 annual appeal campaign as we were highlighting a matching grant opportunity. The headline was, "Matching isn't always a good idea—unless it’s matching your donation to OMA."
  • I love my family, but when the food is gone and the packages are unwrapped I prefer to love them from a distance! There always appears to be a "Cousin Eddie" in every family! Love every one of my family however we do not need any new boarders nor their pets!
  • I updated my photo. I didn't have one at all so I chose one that was a good photo of my face.
