I love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday because it is celebrated by all Americans, regardless of their backgrounds. While the “thanks” part of Thanksgiving is so meaningful, the “giving” part is equally so.
We give thanks on Thanksgiving, go to the mall on Black Friday, and browse the web on Cyber Monday. Now, we have a day dedicated to giving back. On Giving Tuesday (this year on December 1), nonprofits, families, businesses and students around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
I also wanted to share…my matching gift opportunity.
Many of you know about my passion for The CARA Program, a true social innovator. I am proud to count Maria Kim, CEO as a member of Vistage 3361. Cara was the only social purpose organization to win the Chicago Innovation Award and for the first time in 2015, Cara was listed in Chicago Magazine’s “Best 20 Charities in Chicago” .
This year, I have joined with Maria’s fellow Vistage member, Kevin Krak of Gallant Building Solutions, and Jim and Kay Mabie in offering a $20,000 Challenge Grant. We will match every dollar up to $20,000! Click Here to give today and your gift will go twice as far.
