Throughout the day, The Park City Community Foundation will announce three power hours, a time when the next 200 donations will be boosted by an additional $20.

While many nonprofits will be out on the streets holding signs and hosting donation parties, the Park City Community Foundation will be headquartered at High West Distillery. “If someone wants a T-shirt or a Live PC Give PC sign, if they want to donate, they can come visit us there,” Wilder said. High West Distillery, located at 703 Park Ave., is also the place where the Live PC Give PC tally party will be from 7 p.m. to midnight. The event is open to ages 21 and older, and will include live music by the Lane Changers, a band comprised of members of the Changing Lanes Experience. “If people haven’t given during the day, they can give during the party,” Wilder said. “We’ll watch the counter tick away at the screen and party like its 1999.” During the party, the Park City Community Foundation, with the support of several sponsors, including Park City Mountain Resort and EpicPromise, Park City Hospital, SNOCRU, Andeavor Foundation and GBS Benefits, will offer leaderboard prizes to the nonprofits with the most donors. “There is an All-Nonprofits Leaderboard, sponsored by Park City Mountain and EpicPromise,” Wilder said. “The organization closed its Heber clinic, though PP supplies the People’s Health Clinic in Park City with staff and contraceptives to provide many of the same services to low-income and uninsured patients.

Second prize is $1,500 and third Prize is $1,000.” There are five other leaderboard categories — Caring for Each Other, Energizing and Enlivening, Keep On Moving, Protecting Where We Play and Sparking Minds. For those leaderboards, the first-place prize is $1,250. Second place is $750 and third place is $500. “The leaderboard winners are based on a number of donors, not the amount of money the nonprofit has raised,” Wilder said. “And if someone wins one leaderboard, they won’t be eligible to win another.” Also, the awards will be based on online donors. “It’s possible for people to donate off line and give to the nonprofits directly,” Wilder said. “Those donations will count with our overall goal, but not to the leaderboard prizes.” While its fun to engage in some friendly competition, the reality is everyone wins with Live PC Give PC, Wilder said. “It brings people together,” he said. “There are many reasons why we live here, why we love it here, but this is a way we can all lock arms and do something together for a day.” Park City Foundation’s Live PC Give PC will run from midnight to 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 10.
