Hi friends, Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday! If you are looking to make some end of year donations to really impactful organizations, please consider a gift to In A Heartbeat. This past Wednesday, we lost a 13-year old student-athlete in CT to sudden cardiac arrest when he collapsed on the football field during practice. An unimaginable loss for his family, friends, teammates, and community. These deaths hurt because many of them are preventable. We focus on the primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac arrest by providing free EKGs to youth and donating AEDs to places in need. We are proud of the 400+ AEDs we have donated and 10,000+ FREE EKGs we have provided but it is time for our impact to multiply! In the Northeast alone there are over 2 million youth that need their hearts checked. We want to help them and have strategically formulated a growth plan. Of course, with growth, funding is needed. Our end of year goal is to raise $150,000 so we can make our impact even greater, so we can donate more AEDs and so we can provide more EKGs to youth. This is a lofty goal but we believe we can do it! If you want to help us save more lives so we don’t have devastation among families, friends, and communities after a loss to SCA, click the link or share this post! We would not be able to do it without your support. https://lnkd.in/eeY5RuGm

No one ever wants to have to use Hope's Harbor services. But if you have ever been a caretaker, you know it is not easy. You’re tired, you need a shower, you need a warm meal. You need to be clear headed so you can make important decisions. Hopes Harbor takes care of those who are taking care of a sick or injured child in the hospital-for days, sometimes weeks, sometimes even months. On Giving Tuesday, please consider giving a $10 donation. Because Hopes Harbor families are welcome regardless of their ability to pay. Donate or volunteer to make a meal: https://lnkd.in/egH-qSr6

On December 14-15, I’ll be participating in the 24h Tremblant event, a 24-hour endurance challenge that supports The betterment of children’s health and well-being. This incredible event brings together thousands of people to raise funds for the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, the CHEO Foundation, the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation, The Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation, and the Tremblant Foundation, and your support can make a significant difference. Here’s how you can help: 1. Donate: Every contribution, big or small, helps us get closer to our fundraising goal. Fondation 24h Tremblant supports children’s causes by providing funding to medical and social organisations with the ultimate goal of seeing all children flourish and lead healthy lives. They provide financial support to foundations to help them meet the needs of children with physical or mental illnesses and impairments, special needs, or who are living in disadvantaged areas.   2. Spread the Word: Share this event with your friends and family. The more people who know about it, the more we can raise awareness and funds for this important cause. How to Donate: https://lnkd.in/eUsAcXVu  or go to https://lnkd.in/egNfMX6d search my name and donate  

As many of you know, Dave & I are passionate board members for Kids In The Middle (KITM) which supports families going through divorce. Today kicks off our 24 hour annual Giving 4 Kids campaign and we are asking for your support. KITM serves 2,000+ children and families through their counseling services. Today we are hoping to gain additional support for our programs. To learn more about KITM, visit the website: https://lnkd.in/gC8WQRKK. We are seeking your financial donation to provide much needed mental health services for children experiencing the trauma of divorce and separation. All donations are DOUBLED for the next 24 hours thanks to our matching donors! That means if you donate $5 it turns into $10, $100 turns into $200- you get it. No gift is too small and donations are tax-deductible. In Missouri, tax credits are 50% monetary back in the form of a MO state tax credit. This is an ALL or nothing campaign, which means that we must raise the full $100,000 by Thursday May 2 at 2pm CST. As a board, we also like to make this a challenge (of course 😊) so please indicate Team Teal when making a donation to indicate the team we represent. To make a donation: https://lnkd.in/g6ezkAcb We truly appreciate your support.

As you'd probably expect, Viridium's lovely clients are getting Christmas presents that are wonderfully ethical. This year, within their hampers (which may not actually be hampers - still need to work out the logistics...) we have also included a donation to Zarach. Zarach popped up on my feed a few weeks ago and their mission to provide bed kits for children really hit me. My daughter is now 8 and since she was a tiny baby we have tucked her up in bed every night and read her a story. It is consistently one of the nicest parts of my day. To think there are so many children living in this country that don't even have a decent bed to call their own is beyond heartbreaking and I knew immediately that this is where I wanted Viridium's Christmas donations to go. Donating to a charity that will use the money directly to buy beds for kids rather than the money going into the ether feels like we're doing something meaningful. At the moment, all donations are being matched by the fabulous folk at Aviva so every pound you can donate will be worth £2 to Zarach. If your company hasn't yet decided where to donate to this Christmas or, worse, are considering sending clients a load of plastic tat that will end up in landfill, please consider spending the money somewhere that it'll make lasting positive change. P.S. Donations seem to be matched up to £250, so do it in batches of £250 if you're planning on making a big donation. That way they should get double for every pound you spend 😊 (It's the Yorkshire blood in me!) #zarach #corporategifting #nobodywantsyourpens
