After handing out hundreds of hugs and donating hundreds of dollars, the GiveForward team is ready to declare World Give Day 2011 a resounding success.

We wrapped up our World Give Day fundraising competition at midnight on May 4th, and with so many amazing donors coming out to support their favorite fundraisers, it was a very close race. Take a look at the winner here.

When we were giving donations, we were giving hugs in downtown Chicago.  Need a smile?  Watch the video:
