Hello Beautiful People!
Tis the season!
Of giving. Of getting. Of loving. Of lights.
Tis the season to perhaps try a little bit harder to make this world a better place.
One can only hope.
Today, on this Giving Tuesday, I’m here to spotlight a charity I adore – The Robin Hood Foundation. (I mean, I like it so much that a portion of the proceeds to The Ugly Christmas Sweater Soiree are going straight into the pockets of these fellas & ladies.)
Here’s their mission –
Robin Hood is New York’s largest poverty-fighting organization, and since 1988 has focused on finding, funding and creating programs and schools that generate meaningful results for families in New York’s poorest neighborhoods. Since its founding, Robin Hood has raised more than $1.95 billion in dollars, goods and services to provide hundreds of the most effective soup kitchens, homeless shelters, schools, job-training programs and other vital services that give New York’s neediest citizens the tools they need to build better lives. In addition, Robin Hood’s board of directors pays all administrative, fundraising and evaluation costs, so 100% of your donation goes directly to organizations helping New Yorkers in need.
So, on this Giving Tuesday, (or any day, really – I’m sure they’ll accept donations on the other days of the week as well), consider donating what you can to those who are fighting the good fight, and trying to make the Big Apple a bit brighter and better for us all.
You can donate here.
You can also RSVP to The Ugly Christmas Sweater Soiree here.
Merry Christmas!
Live, Love, Learn,
