Dear Friends of PSR Philadelphia -

Today is the day! As Thanksgiving 2017 has now passed us, it is time to reflect on our values and blessings. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday are synonymous with holiday shopping, #GivingTuesday is a way to make sure our actions stay aligned with our values.

Each of us must find ways to spread our gratitude and give back to those who protect the health of our shared communities both locally and globally as the list below of our year's activities demonstrate. 

Over the past year, your support and donations , have allowed PSR Philadelphia to educate and advocate in the face of major threats harming our world such as climate change, the toxic unconventional gas development industry in our state, and youth violence prevention. In the year ahead, we would like to set still higher goals for tackling these important issues.

The tremendous response from the previous years has made an impact in the lives the of many. That is why today , we would like to surpass all expectations! Celebrate #GivingTuesday right now by donating to help us educate and advocate for the public health issues that matter most to our community.

Truly, what makes this time of the year special is
the gift of giving back to our planet and those in need of help.

We thank you for your everlasting support !

Sincerely,
