GIVING TUESDAY PODCAST

THREE YEARS AGO
Then GCAA President John DeMario wanted to create a legacy experience that would extend beyond the Association, spill outside of properties, and impact housing and, more importantly, the people, lives, and families of the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association.  DeMario rallied GCAA Morning Perks Podcast host Bill Clements to help him curate (okay, coerce) GCAA members to show up and "do weird and funny things" that would tug on heartstrings and hopefully wallets.

YEAR ONE
Like you do, (owner/operators, onsite teams, and supplier members) delivered. In 2023, we had a multifamily couple get married LIVE on the very first Giving Tuesday Podcast, and we also cut a 12+ inch ponytail off to be donated to another charity! The in-between moments were filled with TikTok challenges, guest appearances, and an Instagram influencer - oh yeah, we raised over $33,000 for Crisis Assistance Ministries!

YEAR TWO
We brought in The Carolina Panther, Sir Pur, to smash pies into the faces of some of your most beloved multifamily professionals and shaved the head of Greystar's very own Mike Susen. These moments, along with a holiday reading from The Elf On The Shelf, a live musical act, and a Hot Ones-inspired interview, helped us raise over $50,000!

MEET THIS YEAR'S CHARITY PARTNER
We are excited to host a day of fun that will benefit the work being done at ENTRYWAY, where they offer a hand up to economic self-sufficiency by providing career training, employment, and housing in partnership with our real estate partners.

PLANS FOR GIVING TUESDAY 2025
Our strategy has been to keep the crazy under wraps until the day of the podcast, but we can assure you that it will be worth watching - AND GIVING! Set a reminder to check this event page and GCAA social media platforms for access to the Zoom link + donation link. We invite the entire Association to watch the wacky, weird, and wonderful unfold LIVE and support us in surpassing the totals of the previous two years!

AS ADVERTISED · ZERO SERIOUSNESS

HOWEVER, WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SHENANIGANS

HEARTWARMING MOMENTS THAT MAKE GIVING FEEL GOOD
