#GivingTuesday is a worldwide day of giving that is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Since its inception in 2012, #GivingTuesday has given people the opportunity to make generous gifts to causes that they care about, culminating in billions of dollars being contributed to nonprofit organizations around the world. This year, #GivingTuesday will be celebrated on December 2.
Each year, the AMA Foundation holds a #GivingTuesday fundraiser to help support AMA's programs, such as scholarships, the National Model Aviation Museum, club support grants, building the endowment to secure the future of our hobby, and so much more. With multiple funds available, our dedicated donors always have the option of choosing the cause that their dollars directly impact.
To help us celebrate this year's #GivingTuesday and make it as successful as possible, the AMA Foundation is partnering with Pink Ribbon Good (PRG), an organization dedicated to supporting individuals diagnosed with breast and gynecological cancers.
From providing free meals and transportation to supplying housecleaning essentials and peer support, PRG truly is a rainbow in the storm that cancer creates for hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country each year, including AMA members and their loved ones. PRG is a recently established partner of the AMA Foundation, and we're looking forward to collaborating with them more in the future.
This year, 10% of all proceeds raised from our #GivingTuesday fundraiser on December 2 will be donated to PRG. This means that your donation is not only directly benefiting the hobby that you love, but it is also directly contributing to the support of diagnosed individuals across the country.
If you or someone you know has been impacted by breast or gynecological cancer, we encourage you to make note of that in your donation. You'll have the opportunity to donate in honor or memory of a loved one throughout the donation process.
If you find yourself feeling thankful for this hobby and all of the memories and experiences it has afforded you, we encourage you to look into our different giving options and consider donating on this global day of generosity. Whether you're passionate about education, AMA club support, flying site sustainability, or preserving our hobby's history, you can choose which fund your dollars directly impact, ensuring that your donation goes to a cause that you care about. Fuel your passion and leave a lasting legacy on model aviation, all while directly supporting the individuals battling breast and gynecological cancers.
