Embracing the Spirit of Giving Tuesday: Why It Matters for Our Mission at Less Leg More Heart
Every year, the Tuesday following Thanksgiving is celebrated as Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving that encourages people to donate to charities, volunteer, and support their communities. This year, we invite you to join us in making a difference for those living with limb loss by participating in this important day of giving.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Founded in 2012, Giving Tuesday was created as a response to the commercialization of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, aiming to remind us of the importance of generosity and kindness during the holiday season. It is a day dedicated to giving back, promoting charitable activities, and supporting nonprofits that work tirelessly to improve the lives of others.
As a global movement, Giving Tuesday has inspired millions to come together, share their resources, and uplift those in need. From small donations to large contributions, every act of kindness counts and can create a ripple effect of positive change in our communities.
Why Giving Tuesday is Important to Our Mission
At Less Leg More Heart, our mission is to provide essential support, resources, and community for amputees and their families. Giving Tuesday is an incredible opportunity for us to amplify our message and extend our reach, allowing us to impact more lives in meaningful ways. Here are a few reasons why this day is crucial to our mission:
