Following the announcement The Community Foundation spokesperson Kim Russell said that the decision to end the event came as a result of independent online fundraisers, such as Kickstarter, rising to prominence in the past few years.

“Five years ago not as many nonprofits had an online giving portal on their website, more do now. We were just kind of looking at where the event had gone and where it could go,” she said."
