Please Support InnerAct Alliance on Giving Tuesday - Tomorrow, November 29, 2022

 

Tomorrow, Tuesday November 29th, is Giving Tuesday – a day of giving back to nonprofits within your community, either monetarily or in actions supporting the nonprofit’s mission. Nonprofits rely on donations from the public to continue funding education, research, advocacy, and support programs to further their missions. Each act of generosity has the power to transform our communities and our world. Giving Tuesday has grown from a simple concept in 2012 to a global celebration and nearly 35 million adults in the U.S. participated in this worthwhile effort last year. 

If a GivingTuesday or Holiday Donation is within your means, please consider supporting InnerAct Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency established in 1985 to reduce the abuse and underage use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs through: Community Awareness and Involvement; Prevention Education; Economic Support; and Leadership Development. We would appreciate your donation to cover the cost of materials to expand prevention programs in Hardee, Highlands, and Polk counties in Central Florida.

Researchers have observed increases in substance abuse, overdoses, and mental health issues in the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, our kids may potentially suffer adverse effects for years to come. To help meet the challenges, InnerAct Alliance and coalition partners, StandUP Polk and UthMpact, share a common goal to expand prevention initiatives, which include science-based education to nearly 15,000 students in 70 elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as outreach to over 100,000 citizens via informative presentations and social norms messaging, a premier youth leadership program, and family-oriented awareness events such as the Annual Red Ribbon Campaign and motivational rallies for fifth-grade students countywide. Additional funding will go a long way to further efforts to inform and educate more students about the harmful effects of alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, vaping, narcotics, bullying, mental health, and other risky behaviors.
