 Double the Hope Match Month

Double the Hope Match Month

Five weekly mini-challenges launch every Monday in August, each paired with a limited-time Brighton match. Every dollar you raise will be matched dollar-for-dollar on your fundraising page, up to $1,000 per participant, until that week's matching funds are exhausted.

Here's how it works:
For every dollar you raise, Brighton will donate the same amount—up to $1,000 per participant.

Please note: Only donations made through online credit card transactions are eligible for the matching gift.

For Example:
• Your friend donates $50 → Brighton donates another $50.
• You raise $250 → Brighton adds $250.
• You raise $1,000 → Brighton matches it with another $1,000.
