Last Friday, the greater Park City area showed what it means to Live PC. The 16th annual Live PC Give PC day of giving, hosted by the Park City Community Foundation, celebrated local nonprofits as 7,632 unique donors contributed more than 18,000 donations that reached a record $6,108,080. Tho se numbers surpass this year’s goal of engaging 6,800 unique donors to raise $5.5 million, Joel Zarrow, president and chief executive officer, said in a press release. “This is an incredible giving day for the community to support nonprofits that support us all throughout the year,” he said. “Together, we make Park City and Summit County such an extraordinary place for everyone who lives, works, and plays here. Our community recognizes the challenges we have and has stepped up accordingly to surpass our wildest expectations.”  Last year, the event raised more than $5.5 million from 6,478 donors, and to date, Live PC Give PC has raised more than $46 million for local nonprofits since the first day of giving in 2011, according to the press release. A little healthy competition between nonprofits has always been an element in Live PC Give PC, and this year featured $47,500 in prizes distributed to participating nonprofits that clocked in the most individual donors. The top three finishers for the All Nonprofits leaderboard sponsored by Park City Mountain and Vail Resorts Epic Promise Foundation were Mountain Trails Foundation, which took home the top prize of $1,000; Recycle Utah snatched the second-place $750 prize; and Park City Ski Snowboard took $500 for third.  A new category, the group giving challenge, also made donation waves. Members of the community were encouraged to enter their book club, cooking club or even as neighbors to raise funds that were distributed to the nonprofits of their choice. This year, the category’s top prize went to the Literary Ladies Book Club, which designated its gift to Clarks Christmas Foundation. The two Spirit Awards, sponsored by High West Distillery, went to Ballet West and KPCW. For a full list of prize winners for all the leaderboards, visit tinyurl.com/5yacetxs. The Park City Community Foundation, a nonprofit itself, also received donations, Zarrow said. “We’re especially grateful to everyone who donated to Park City Community Foundation,” he said. “Our organization alone raised $672,308 to build community belonging, support a thriving workforce and create a sustainable future.”  The funds raised by the Community Foundation include a combined $300,000 for initiatives such as Zero Food Waste, Youth United, Women’s Giving Fund and the Early Childhood Alliance.
