It was a bright, sunny day. A beautiful day for an important event. A day when city officials stood next to nonprofit leaders and philanthropists alike to break ground for Charleston's new homeless shelter...and an eco-friendly shelter at that. I was proud to be there, a part of the audience sharing...

Earlier this month, Carolyn Murray , an anchor at News 2 and host of the Newsmakers program on Comcast Channel 2 in Charleston, SC, interviewed Blackbaud CEO Marc Chardon.

I can't wait for tomorrow. It's one of my favorite days of the year, and I know I'm not alone! Although the Trident United Way usually holds its annual Day of Caring on September 11th, this year that day fell on a Saturday (and for me, the first day of both my boys' soccer seasons). So...
