Support PAALS on #GivingTuesday

What is #GivingTuesday

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. And, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, November 28, 2017 charities, families, businesses, community centers and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more.Then tell everyone you can on social media about how you are giving on #GivingTuesday. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.

$10,000 in Matching Funds

In honor of PAALS being named an Angel Charity for 2018, an anonymous donor will match all #GivingTuesday Donations up to $10,000.
