#GivingTuesday matching gift challenge!

This Tuesday, December 1st, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous benefactor, up to $1,500!

Giving Tuesday is observed annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the blockbuster shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Dubbed the unofficial kickoff of the giving season, every year since 2012 philanthropies are celebrated and communities around the world join together with the common goal of encouraging giving to a worthy cause.

This Tuesday, please consider supporting efforts to make a brighter future for all who live with FSHD by taking these two simple steps!

1. Make a donation here. Every gift donated this Giving Tuesday will be matched dollar for dollar (up to a total of $1,500) by a generous benefactor.
2. Let your social media friends know about your gift and encourage them to do the same! You can copy and paste the following message, or compose one of your own: Join me on #GivingTuesday to help find a cure & provide support for those affected by #FSHD http://bit.ly/1LC0cvF

During last year’s Giving Tuesday, the FSH Society raised over $2,000 to support those affected by FSHD and to fund important research to take one step closer towards finding a cure. Join us this year on December 1 and help us exceed our goal of $3,000!

As this is an event largely fueled by social media, be sure to keep up with our progress by following us on Twitter @FSHSociety, Facebook at Facioscapulohumeral Society, FSH Society and use the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #CureFSHD when connecting with us on social media during the day.

Here’s to another successful Giving Tuesday!
