Dear Friends,
When Pebble Tossers started in 2008, our belief rested on a powerful principle: young people are
generally an untapped resource for communities and that youth volunteering is a
win-win opportunity, benefiting the community as well as the young people
themselves.
We now have 15,000 youth & family volunteers who
serve 122 local nonprofits. Additionally, we've launched several youth development and leadership
development programs to actively engage kids and teens. Last year, the community impact of their volunteer
efforts was valued at $1,183,000.
Pebble Tossers provides local nonprofits with creative
solutions utilizing youth volunteers. It's powerful to watch kids take action;
to experience volunteering for the first time and to witness the sparkle in
their eye from knowing they made an impact.
This Thursday is
Georgia Gives Day, a day
supporting all Georgia nonprofits. I ask you to join thousands of others and
donate to nonprofits and, specifically, to Pebble Tossers. As a bonus, your
donation will be doubled due to the generosity of our Board of Directors who
will match the first $2,500 donated!
We need each one
of you reading this email to donate at least $5 - the cost of a cup of coffee!
This donation will directly go to the programming of our youth volunteers and
will start a huge ripple of giving in Atlanta! You can donate right now or wait
until Thursday, but ....
Thanks,
your support is greatly appreciated!
