While it seems we have a national holiday for commercialism with Black Friday, today has a different purpose. It's Giving Tuesday. Non-Profits across America and across CNY are busy reminding us that as you get all those gifts for family and friends, stop for a moment and support a local cause you believe in.
After nearly three years of making Syracuse a more positive place, Believe in Syracuse needs your help in order to grow it's capacity to make a difference in CNY. We've accomplished a lot and have big plans for the future. Consider chipping in $10, $40 or $400, whatever you can.
Over the past three years, we have succeeded in changing the conversation about Syracuse. We held dozens of Syracuse Rising events that in total reached thousands of people and showed off some of the local progress that has been made. Our email list has surpassed 2,000 members and we're reaching thousands of people per day between Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Over the past three years we have organized hundreds of volunteers for neighborhood trash cleanups, to serve breakfast to the homeless and hungry, and to support education in our city.
While we've done a lot so far, we're continuing to grow, and that's why we need your help. Two months ago we launched our Community Organizing Program that empowers neighbors on the Northside and South Side to make a difference and take ownership of their neighborhoods. Our committees are growing in their efforts to retain and attract people to Syracuse, organize next year's Syracuse Olympics and volunteer in our city schools.
This work can't be done alone and we can't do it without you. Supporters like you have stood up time and time again to say that you believe in this community. As we enter into a new chapter of growth as an organization, can you chip in and help out? Click here and donate $20, $75 or whatever you can.
Let's make this Giving Tuesday one that really supports Syracuse.
Thanks,
John DeSantis
