by Erin Fernandez, Executive Director, Vermont Adaptive It's a bit overwhelming to reach this amazing milestone - raising more than $90,000 during #GivingTuesday.
This incredible effort shows that people do pay attention to the season of giving and what it really means. The monies raised allows us to reach more people with our adaptive programs, regardless of their ability to pay, fund and keep current our fleet of expensive adaptive equipment, and continue to broaden our programming options with not just traditional outdoor sports and recreation, but also with our wellness and environmental programming.
If you made a donation December 3 - THANK YOU!
And if you didn't, it's not too late to help!
Nearly 300 people gave to this effort and about 65% of those donations were $100 or less. This is proof that when a community rallies together around a cause it works! Please keep the momentum going, share your Vermont Adaptive story with friends and family today through email and social media and let them know why you support sports for people with disabilities. We must raise $350,000 from individual and corporate donors for 2020 programs and operations. Every penny counts, and we're off to a great start. Without you, we can't share the passion for sports and recreation with others.
Thank you again - have a wonderful holiday season.
