December 3, 2020 Thank You For #GivingTogether! With GivingTuesday officially over, Trying Together would like to thank everyone who joined us in celebrating. Whether you submitted a donation, thanked an important educator in your life, or helped us spread the word, your contributions matter. The Impact of Your Support Thanks to your generous support, Trying Together was able to raise over $4,600 in a span of 24 hours and secure a $2,000 match provided by our Board of Directors. This brings the total raised to $6,645! As Fred Rogers said, “When grownups and children are trying together, just about anything can be possible,” and yesterday, you proved that you were trying too. Thank you for your generosity and for everything you do to support our region’s families and early learning professionals. Still Looking To Give?
