#Giving Tuesday: Help us Spread the Word
With Thanksgiving just a week away, we know many of you are gearing up for the biggest shopping day of the year—Black Friday. For those of us who are not as eager to fight the early morning crowds to track down a “door buster,” there’s Cyber Monday where our shopping consists of clicking around the web to find the best deals online.
In recent years, however, another online trend has caught our attention: Giving Tuesday.
Giving Tuesday, on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, gives us an opportunity to give back to organizations and causes we care about. At the Willow Creek Association Giving Tuesday has become a platform to launch our year-end giving campaign—and we need your help.
We have set a goal of raising $600,000 to help meet our immediate needs and invest in our strategic goal to impact 500,000 leaders annually by 2020.
Two ways you can help:
- Donate a tweet or Facebook post through our Thunderclap campaign to spread awareness about the ministry of the Global Leadership Summit. What is Thunderclap, you ask? Thunderclap is like Kickstarter for social media, and with your permission, it will post an update to your account on Giving Tuesday. Together we can unite our voices online. If 250 people donate one tweet or Facebook post, the message will go even further!
- Donate a gift to the Willow Creek Association to fill the $600,000 funding gap for 2015. Give online at willowcreek.com/give. Every gift makes a difference, no matter the amount. Share that you supported the cause on social media by using the hashtag #GivingTuesday.
Together we can unite our voices online to encourage people to learn more about the GLS and contribute to our year-end campaign.
