Giving Tuesday 2024
December 3, 2024, is #GivingTuesday, the global movement for giving and volunteering that takes place each year after Black Friday. The “opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies, and individuals join together and rally for causes close to their hearts. We hope that on #GivingTuesday you will help us raise funds to continue to support our families in the Alberta ALS community.
Every year we at the ALS Society of Alberta share stories about how the Society is “Making it Possible,” or “Making Possibilities” for our families. A big part of our mission is to make the impossible, possible for Albertans living with ALS, and we continue to fulfill our mission with your support. As we reviewed the Giving Tuesday donations from the past few years, your words of gratitude and your reasons for giving, touched us deeply. Your generosity benefits many and allows us to keep supporting our wonderful families during difficult times. Thank you.
Because of you, in 2023 we were able to loan out 5705 pieces of equipment to over 430 families. We know those pieces of equipment are what allow for life to continue as normally as possible - they make communication possible… travel possible… staying at home possible… and visiting friends, family, & loved ones possible.
We rely on the support of community members like you to ensure we are there for each person and family who needs us. The sense of community has been so important for our clients, their families, and caregivers. This year for Giving Tuesday, we are going to share stories of so much that is possible because of our community of support. Thank you for being part of it.
