Amy & Peter Pastan Support #GivingTuesday

You’ve heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but have you heard of #GivingTuesday? Now entering its fifth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that connects individuals to causes that matter. This year it falls on November 29. We like it because it’s also a celebration of gratitude, for all you do to support this work by giving to 826DC in so many ways.

Thanks to the sparkling generosity of 826DC board member Amy and her husband Peter, we are pleased to announce that all gifts in the month of November will be matched dollar for dollar up to $5,000. Your support in the month of November will go to ensuring that our young authors are professionally published in Spring 2017. We cannot do this without your support.

Give now to double your impact and enable more students to become published young authors through our award-winning writing programs. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the season of gratitude.

Can’t give right now but still want to support our efforts?
