GIVING TUESDAY
Mikey speaks on Zoom at 7:30 am;
if anyone wants to join us, we will send the link.
What began as a day to encourage people to do good…
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. GivingTuesday is now an independent nonprofit and a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
GivingTuesday reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity.
Please consider a donation to Swim with Heart on GivingTuesday, November 30, 2021. Thank you!
