Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Tuesday was a day to give back and you helped us reach more than 400 online gifts on Giving Tuesday.
The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday – a global day dedicated to giving back. Now in its third year, this day was founded with a simple purpose: to celebrate generosity and give. More than 10,000 organizations have engaged in the movement since it was started, and Texas Children’s was happy to make this a new tradition of giving back to our patients.
Texas Children’s celebrated this day of generosity with an online fundraising drive in honor of our patients. Our goal was 500 online gifts in honor of each of the patients staying with us each day – one child, one gift.
We are happy to see the community give back to our organization helping us set a record-breaking day for online donations, but the holidays are still upon us and we hope the generous donations will continue to pour in as we think of the families still in the hospital this holiday season.
We are very close to reaching our goal! You can still make a donation toward this effort to help the patients at Texas Children’s. Give today.
