Description

Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to charitable giving all over the world! 

Black Friday Small Business Saturday Cyber Monday GIVING TUESDAY

Every year at Crossroads, we mark this day of giving to thank our supporters in some way. At the same time, we are always elated to see donations coming in on this day, starting the wave of final gift for the tax year. We use this day to launch our end-of-year annual campaign.

Annually, Crossroads helps upwards of 120 children and their families from all over the region. The necessity of giving the children that we serve the skills that are so essential to their success in life is something we can't do without help from our community. We are making a difference here, one day at a time, and help is always needed to make this happen. 

Support Crossroads Center for Children by making a donation to our school on Giving Tuesday, 11.28.23
Giving Tuesday is a global day for charitable giving that many are familiar with. Crossroads has participated each year and looks forward to this day as an opportunity to have our message seen and our mission supported financially by donors looking for charitable giving opportunities.
Giving Tuesday follows Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday as a day to focus on generosity and giving to nonprofits.  
Giving Tuesday connects the forces of nonprofits throughout the world and through our local commmunity, raising awareness and essential funds for the work nonprofits do.
We are hopeful to have Giving Day support of our wonderful community to help make the world a better place for children and families living with autism and other neuro-developmental special learning needs.
