Giving Tuesday (Nov. 27) will be here soon, offering everyone an opportunity to put down their shopping lists and give to a charitable organization. If you choose to donate to the Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation on Giving Tuesday, you could help send a child to Camp Good Grief.
Camp Good Grief is a bereavement camp where children and teenagers who have lost loved ones can come together for companionship, play and therapy. It costs approximately $1,500 to send one child to Camp Good Grief. During last year’s Giving Tuesday, the Baptist Foundation raised $3,000 for its Camp Good Grief fund. This year’s goal is more than twice that – $7,500 – and it will help send five children to camp. Every dollar you give will be used for that purpose.
Here are 4 easy things you can do to help send a child to Camp Good Grief on Giving Tuesday:
- Donate! Suggested amount is $20.18 or whatever you can give, and all Giving Tuesday donations are collected online. . To donate, click here.
