In this month's good newsletter, we're highlighting the fundraisers who hit the ground running in 2026 - going above and beyond for their charities. We're featuring the Antarctic adventurers, tractor runners, ocean rowers and more who shone on GiveWheel this month.
Take a look below to read about some of this month's charitable fundraising superstars: |
