Follow on Google News | Natick Visiting Nurse Association Joins the National #GivingTuesday MovementThe Natick Visiting Nurse Association, MetroWest's premier free-standing, not-for-profit home health care agency, today announced that it has joined #GivingTuesday.
Coinciding with the Thanksgiving Holiday and the kickoff of the holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday will inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support and help create a better world. Taking place December 2, 2014 – the Tuesday after Thanksgiving – #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are, today, synonymous with holiday shopping. “GivingTuesday is a wonderful opportunity for us to collaborate with area businesses to help raise awareness of and funds for the services that we provide to individuals and families throughout MetroWest,” said Judith Boyko, MBA, MS, RN, CEO of Natick VNA. Natick VNA’s partners in this year’s initiative include California Pizza Kitchen and Chico’s (Natick Collection, Natick); Uno’s Chicago Grill (Framingham and Westborough); Seeing an opportunity to channel the generous spirit of the holiday season to inspire action around charitable giving, a group of friends and partners, led by the 92nd Street Y (92Y), came together to find ways to promote and celebrate the great American tradition of giving. Thought leaders in philanthropy, social media and grassroots organizing joined with 92Y to explore what is working in modern philanthropy and how to expand these innovations throughout the philanthropic sector. The concept gained steam, and with the help of the United Nations Foundation and other founding partners, more than 10,000 organizations have joined the movement and are providing creative ways people can embrace #GivingTuesday and collaborate in their giving efforts to create more meaningful results. “It’s been a privilege to work with remarkable leaders all over the country building a movement around #GivingTuesday,” “#GivingTuesday is a counter narrative to Black Friday and Cyber Monday because it reminds us that the spirit of the holiday giving season should be about community and not just consumerism,” For more details about the #GivingTuesday movement, visit the #GivingTuesday website (www.givingtuesday.org) The Natick VNA is located at 209 West Central Street, Suite 313, Natick, Mass., 01760.
