What is #GivingTuesday?
“We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, 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 about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.” -From GivingTuesday.org
Invest in the Future of Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Families.
Give to LFSA on Tuesday, December 1.
The Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association (LFSA) supports families and individuals with LFS in ways that touch lives and inspire change. LFS is a rare genetic disorder that greatly increases one’s risk of developing cancer. Our efforts concentrate on raising awareness in the community, advancing medical and scientific research, and uniting patients and professionals who share our same goal. We provide extensive resources, educational materials, forums, community events, and support services for those living with LFS and their loved ones. Our advocacy also extends to medical providers and thought leaders in furthering research and promoting optimal care for the LFS community. We are proud to work with respected physicians, genetic counselors and medical facilities to truly make a difference. The dedication and passion of the members of our founding team is rooted in their firsthand personal experiences with LFS, making us more than advocates. We are survivors.
