This GivingTuesday, North Beach PAWS Encourages Everyone Who Can to Donate to Help Build A Better Place — A Brand-New Dog Shelter — and to Continue to Provide Lifesaving Care for Dogs, Puppies, Cats, and Kittens in its Care
North Beach PAWS is promoting GivingTuesday to raise awareness for the need for continued community support for shelter operations such as food and medicine for cats and dogs, community programs like spay-neuter services, and low-cost vaccinations, and to bolster fundraising efforts for a new dog shelter to house the ever-increasing number of dogs that need a safe place to go.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday will kick off the generosity season this year by inspiring people to give back on December 3, 2024, and throughout the year.
“North Beach PAWS participated in GivingTuesday for the first time in 2023,” said Carol Jamroz, North Beach PAWS President. “We were surprised and grateful for the generous support we received. The donations were immediately used toward food for the record numbers of dogs and cats in our care, to pay for dozens of kittens spay and neuter surgeries, and for urgent veterinary care for a group of dogs rescued from a cruelty case. GivingTuesday support from the community meant a great deal to us and made an immediate difference to the dogs and cats that needed help.”
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past eleven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving to causes we care about, every act of generosity counts. GivingTuesday has raised billions of dollars for critical causes around the world and gets billions of impressions on social media from people and organizations speaking up for the causes that matter to them and encouraging others to get involved in their communities.
“GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year,” said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and co-founder. “With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world.”
