🌟 Giving Tuesday is Next Week! In 2012, a simple idea to encourage people to do good and unleash the power of radical generosity was born. The idea is Giving Tuesday! To embrace the thankful feeling we enjoy at Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving of each year. This year, Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, 2024. It only lasts for one day; it’s a perfect time to open your heart and join the movement and support Chrisitine’s Dream Equestrian Center, a Division of Giant Steps, IL, for individuals with autism. We need your help to buy a horse and saddle to strengthen our equine therapy program. Your support can open new doors for adults with autism to grow and connect. Let’s make this happen—together! 💙🐴 #GivingTuesday
