Thanks to YOU we met our match and raised almost $122,000 in ONE DAY!
We are truly inspired by this level of giving from our community. Thank you for supporting our mission to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Thank you to Donna & Frank Patton, The Pisgah & Laurel Fund, AND all of YOU who donated!
Thank you to our 2023 Giving Tuesday Businesses!
New in 2023: Triple Play Leadership Club joins Giving Tuesday Spark
Giving Tuesday Spark is made of teams across the globe of awesome young doers, aged 6-21, leading the way for change on Giving Tuesday and every day.
This year, our Triple Play Leadership Club is stepping up to spread goodwill throughout our community. These 4th & 5th graders are committed to building the better world we all want to live in! They chose "Kindness Rocks" as their Giving Tuesday Spark project! They decorated rocks with positivity and hid them around downtown to spread some kindness to our community. If you come across one, please let us know!
About Giving Tuesday:
Every year, our Club is challenged with raising money to fund our operations. Nearly 60% of the income we raise comes directly from our community - individuals, businesses, churches, and our special events and fundraisers. In 2016, we launched a new fundraising campaign centered around the worldwide Giving Tuesday movement. The Giving Tuesday movement comes after Black Friday and Cyber Monday and challenges people around the world to give back to others. In one day, nonprofits around the world challenge their supporters to raise as much as they can in 24 hours on Giving Tuesday.
