Today is the National Day of Giving
a/k/a GIVING TUESDAY which
provides an opportunity for people around the world to come together by
performing acts of kindness and sharing of time, money, goods, and advocacy to
support worthwhile causes. Each act of
generosity has the power to transform our communities and our world.
Researchers have observed increases
in substance abuse, drug overdoses, and mental health issues in the United
States since the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result, our kids may potentially
suffer adverse effects for years to come.
To help meet these health challenges,
InnerAct Alliance and our coalition partners, StandUP Polk and UthMpact, share
a common goal to expand prevention initiatives in the Lakeland and Polk County
community. Our services include science-based education classes taught 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 positive 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.
We greatly appreciate the time and
talents you may share throughout the year and respectfully request that if a
monetary donation is within your means at this time, please consider making a Giving Tuesday or Holiday
Donation to InnerAct Alliance to help
cover the cost of materials to expand our programs and services.
Please visit https://donorbox.org/giving-tuesday-fundraiser-1 (this link also appears on the
InnerAct Alliance website at https://www.inneractalliance.org) to make a tax deductible donation. Acknowledgement of
your tax-deductible donation will be sent to you upon receipt of your gift. Additional funding will go a long way
to further our efforts to inform and educate hundreds more students about the
harmful effects of alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, vaping, narcotics, bullying,
mental health, and other risky behaviors.
Thank you for all you do to help promote the prevention education mission of InnerAct Alliance in our community!
