#GivingTuesday and “A Little Push Goes a Long Way” with Push to Walk’s 2015 Giving Campaign
(PRWEB) November 24, 2015 -- Tuesday, December 1, 2015 Push to Walk will starts its year-end campaign by participating in #GivingTuesday, and mailing out thousands of letters to its supporters as part of their A Little Push Goes a Long Way campaign. #GivingTuesday began a few years ago as a national day of giving where people are asked to support charities and non-profits on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. This primarily social media based component will act as a precursor to the mailing and email campaign.
Push to Walk’s clients work hard year round to maintain their physical health and wellness and in return the non-profit sets up fundraisers and events all year to offset operating expenses. A Little Push Goes a Long Way embodies what matters most to Push to Walk: the small improvements for clients and how they can make the biggest of differences, and also the idea that small donations are meaningful and important.
This will be Push to Walk’s sixth year end campaign and second year participating in #GivingTuesday with hopes of positive results. Last year the organization raised over $30,000, a record total, and hopes to surpass that amount this year. The #GivingTuesday addition to the A Little Push Goes a Long Way campaign allows the non-profit to have a bit of fun on social media while generating additional donations.
“We have enjoyed sharing videos titled Push-ups for Push to Walk including staff and clients doing push-ups to raise awareness for us. The videos have received great response, which is hopefully indicative of a successful end of the year campaign,” says Cynthia Templeton, Push to Walk President.
