Any act of giving and kindness, no matter how small or large, creates a ripple of goodness and spreads generosity around our planet. Planting trees, opening a door for someone with their hands full of groceries, deciding to offer a warm smile to a stranger looking stressed, or visiting a local senior center to join in conversation and listen to an elder’s stories are all examples of small acts of kindness and generosity that can ripple out to many lives in wide rings of goodness we may never fully see with our own eyes. But we can feel the warmth, happiness, and uplifting joy in our own hearts.

This act of giving and creating goodness is at the heart of GivingTuesday, with the ultimate goal of creating a more just and generous world. And this is the heart of why we at California Health Advocates are again participating in this year’s #GivingTuesday on December 3, 2019. We invite you to join us in this global movement of giving and goodness!

#GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.), Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s also way to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate and to give back in impactful ways to the organizations and causes they support.

Last year, millions of people in over 160 countries participated in #GivingTuesday, and now in its 8th year, nearly every country on earth is participating. We invite you to join the movement and give to California Health Advocates this December 3. Your gift supports our work ensuring our older adults in California and younger people on Medicare with a disability are informed and empowered in understanding, navigating and accessing their health care benefits and rights, and that our Medicare program stays strong!

Make your tax-deductible donation today! And, we have a matching grant! So, with our matching grant, your gift will have twice the impact, and is one that will keep on giving to the over 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries and their families in our state.

Thank you for making a difference and spreading a ripple of growing and glowing goodness! Your gift matters!
