July 8. The Access to Success Christmas in July online fundraiser will take place July 15-24. Access to Success is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by Andrew Lovedale, a former Davidson College men’s basketball player to provide sustainable programs that generate positive change for Nigerian children and their communities. The organization is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Christmas in July is an online auction event that will give supporters a chance to bid on special items. These items are unique to Christmas in July, and will not be available during the annual benefit. In an effort to abide by physical distancing regulations put in place due to the new coronavirus pandemic, Christmas in July bidding will take place solely on a virtual platform, GiveSmart. You can preview the items by visiting: a2s.givesmart.com. Proceeds from the event will go toward Access to Success programs in Nigeria.
