#GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving and unity that will take place on May 5, 2020 – in addition to the regularly scheduled Dec 1, 2020 #GivingTuesday – as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. The day is designed to drive an influx of generosity, citizen engagement, business and philanthropy activation, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world.
At a time when we are all experiencing the pandemic, generosity is what brings people of all races, faiths, and political views together across the globe. Generosity gives everyone power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on. It’s a day for everyone around the world to stand together and give back in all ways, no matter who or where we are.
We are participating in the global day of giving and unity to raise awareness about kidney disease and the importance of organ donation. In light of postponing our 13th Annual George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic to the fall and closing summer camp, we’re switching our focus to serve our kidney patients during this global pandemic. We are working safely from home to help our patients pay for food, medicine, incidentals and every day essentials. We’re also connecting our kidney families with helpful resources so they feel supported.
Will you join us on our mission to help serve the underprivileged during this great time of need?
