GivingTuesday Radiothon is December 1

Posted on: Nov 24, 2020

2020 GivingTuesday Blog header2

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. This year, it falls onDecember 1, and we are marking the day by holding our second annual GivingTuesday Radiothon to raise funds and worldwide awareness of Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Streamed over Facebook Live, our intrepid host Tim Hollenback will conduct nonstop interviews from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Central Time with members of our community—activists, celebrities, scientists, doctors, and other people doing awesome things.

How can you help? Join us on our Facebook page to watch, discuss, donate, and invite friends to listening parties. Share the Radiothon with your social media network and invite people to support our campaign. People support people they know. You will be amazed by the multiplier effect of sharing. And best of all, a group of generous benefactors has pledged to match up to $175,000 of GivingTuesday donations. So every dollar you or your friends donate will be doubled!
