Dear Friend,
Since 2012, #GivingTuesday has been celebrated annually as a global day of giving back, on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Fueled by the power of connection and collaboration, it is a global movement to inspire people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Since its inception, participation has grown to more than 145 countries, with an estimated $503 million raised in online donations in the US alone!
At a time when the world is navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, practicing generosity is one way we can help each other tremendously. Giving back brings people together and empowers them to make a positive change in the lives of others, even while we must be physically apart. It is an opportunity for connection, kindness, and is essential to our well-being.
As a supporter of the Golden West Chapter of The ALS Association, here are some ways you can meaningfully participate and help to inspire action on Tuesday, December 1 in support of families facing ALS.
