It's the time of year when we gather with family and friends around the table to give thanks for all we have. Here at Envision Unlimited, we're especially thankful for our clients, staff, volunteers, board, and supporters like you!
After you've cleared the turky off the table, headed out for the Black Friday sales, and returned back to work, I'm asking you to do one more thing. I'm personally inviting you to join me
in enhancing the lives and expanding the futures of Envision clients by making a donation on #GivingTuesday, November 29th.
Last year, more than 45,000 organizations in 71 countries came together to celebrate #GivingTuesday. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving across Chicagoland and around the world, resulting in greater donations, volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in communities like ours.
I've included some information below on ways you can get involved and amplify the message. There's no donation too large or too small. Every gift on
#GivingTuesday can make a huge difference in the life of our clients.
Won't you join me?
All the best,
|
