We need your help!

On Tuesday, November 28 Chester County Futures will be participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving. Last year, 2016, the fifth year of #GivingTuesday, millions of people in 98 countries came together to give back and support the causes they believe in. Over $177 million was raised online to benefit a tremendously broad range of organizations, and much more was given in volunteer hours, donations of food and clothing, and acts of kindness. This year, CCF wants to celebrate too.

We hope you’ll take part because WE NEED YOUR HELP. We won't see success without support, social media shares, and action on the part of our friends. All gifts made for #GivingTuesday will support our students: provide access to academic enrichment programs, take them out of the classroom and into corporate and college settings, and prepare them for life after high school. And, we are thrilled to share, every gift received will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000, thanks to an anonymous donor!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• Spread the word. Share, like, and comment on our status updates.
• Create a personal fundraising page. Include your story- let your friends know why CCF is important to you. Share it with your network. You will be able to set personal goals, share your progress, and recruit others to “join your fundraising team.” Challenge your friends, engage in some friendly competition, when you win, CCF wins!
• Show the world you’re with us. As #GivingTuesday draws near, we’ll make available great tools for promoting the day.
• Make a donation in honor of a friend. Not only is this a nice thing to do, but it’s a great way to introduce someone new to Chester County Futures.
• Redirect your gifts. If you’re a hard person to shop for, suggest your family make a gift in YOUR HONOR instead.

We encourage you to give a gift on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 that will create opportunities for Chester County Futures students. Your involvement is crucial to the success of this one day campaign! Please contact Cara with any questions, or to get involved.


*We are collecting stories and testimonials, which we will be including in on all social media platforms leading up to #GivingTuesday. If you’d like to share asentence or two about why you support CCF, I’d love to include it in the campaign. It is always exciting to see people sharing our story.
