Giving Tuesday

We’ve all spent a lot of time over the past few days “consuming” … turkey, pie, football games, irresistible items on Black Friday, awesome online deals on Cyber Monday.

Now it’s time to balance it all out. No, I’m not talking about dieting or stopping shopping, I’m talking about giving. Today is #GivingTuesday, a national movement—a day of giving—that raises funds and awareness for important causes everywhere. Organizations, especially nonprofits, participate with their own #GivingTuesday campaign to raise awareness and dollars for their cause.

The nonprofit LIFE Lessons Scholarship Program, a part of the LIFE Foundation, is participating in #GivingTuesday. LIFE Lessons scholarships help students, who are struggling financially due to a parent dying with little or no life insurance, get a college education.

You can help change a life by contributing just $10 or $15 on #GivingTuesday to this important program. And what’s more powerful than helping someone gain an education so that they can help themselves?

Here are testimonials of students who’ve benefited from a LIFE Lessons scholarship.
