This Giving Tuesday we kicked off our first-ever CATCH Holiday Giving Campaign. We encouraged folks to brown bag their lunch for the day, and donate the $10 they saved. The response has been tremendous. In just one day we raised over $2,500, getting us well on our way to our $10,000 campaign goal.
But Giving Tuesday was just the start. Our campaign runs through the end of the year, so there’s still plenty of time to support CATCH in 2018. 100% of donations will support the CATCH Promise Initiative to provide health programming for children in need across the US. Here’s how: - Make a tax-deductible donation. Donors who give at least $100 or $10/month will receive our 2018 Eat Smart lunchbox to serve as a daily reminder to eat lots of GO foods! A $10 donation helps a child eat healthy for an entire year.
- Join the campaign. Want to become a super fan? You can join the CATCH Holiday Campaign by creating your own online fundraiser.
Teaching kids how to be healthy is the only gift we’re interested in giving this holiday season. Thank you to all the supporters and donors who have already made that gift possible.
