Support Employment Horizons on #GivingTuesday

Dear Friends,

Please support Employment Horizons on December 3 as we participate in #GivingTuesday, a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the holiday season following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, we are encouraging the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations like Employment Horizons.

For our first year participating in this event, we have set a goal of raising $5,000. Please help us attain this goal by making your own donation at http://goo.gl/o6BjFw and emailing your family, friends, and colleagues this link asking them to donate to kick off their charitable giving for the season. No donation is too small! Share this information with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn or just forward it to your email friends!

Up early each day, they travel to work, their favorite place to be with their friends, at a  job they love and they are rewarded with a paycheck.  Their  hands are diligent.  They work with fluidity and their heart is  completely in their work.  They do not fear a new job and do  not leave a job until it is finished. But when their tasks are  done, they know how to relax and have fun. They are sad on days that they are unable to come  to Employment Horizons.    

In addition to making your donation, if you would like to help spread our mission on #GivingTuesday the following is language you can use or feel free to create your own!

Sample language for Facebook & Linked In: “On this 2nd annual #GivingTuesday I am supporting Employment Horizons in their mission to assist people with barriers to employment to achieve their individual vocational objectives and establish self-sufficiency in the community. Please consider supporting this national day of giving and this wonderful organization by making your tax-deductible donation here:http://goo.gl/o6BjFw

Sample language for Twitter: "I am thankful for Employment Horizons. Please show your support with a tax-deductible donation. #GivingTuesday http://goo.gl/o6BjFw” or “#GivingTuesday I am supporting Employment Horizons in their mission. Please make a tax-deductible donation.  http://goo.gl/o6BjFw.”

Please remember to ask your network to re-tweet, share, and re-post to help us spread our message and raise much needed funds for Employment Horizons.  Thank you for your continued generous support of our mission and for your assistance in making our participation in #GivingTuesday a success!
