event, you can still add those hours. Full instructions on adding impacts, tracking and updating impacts, and sharing impacts can be found on the GivePulse support website. When adding impacts, please make sure
it is set to "public" and shared with Michigan Technological University so we can
view the full impact we are having on the community.
