Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season!
‘Tis the season for giving, and we hope you will remember the Lymphedema Advocacy Group when making your end-of-the-year donations.
For the first time, we are participating in Giving Tuesday. All money raised will go towards our 2016 Lymphedema Lobby Days. Our Giving Tuesday goal is to raise $2000, which will help further our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and beyond.
Highlights of our accomplishments this year include:
- Reintroduction of the Lymphedema Treatment Act by an ideally positioned bipartisan sponsorship team.
- Distribution of over 200,000 free information cards, to spread awareness about lymphedema and the LTA.
- Production of a wildly popular Lymphedema Infographic and a Public Service Announcement video.
- Enabling individuals to send thousands of messages to Congress using the advocacy tools on our website.
- Production and presentation of free Lymphedema Advocacy Training webinars.
- Formation of grassroots Advocacy Teams in all 50 states.
- Garnering of over 160 cosponsors, more than in any past Congress and a very impressive amount for any bill!
Donations can be made via check, through PayPal (no PayPal account needed, only a credit or debit card) or through a new giving tool called Good World. Good World allows you to donate without leaving social media. You can learn more about GoodWorld and register in advance at: https://goodworld.me/social-login/connect?
Thank you in advance and I hope you and your loved ones have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
