Today is "Giving Tuesday" and we would like to see this become an even bigger, more exciting day than Black Friday. There are so many ways you can give so please consider jumping into that giving spirit and be sure to encourage your friends to join you. Here are a few wonderful ways you can give...
- Donate to a Team In Training participant! CLICK HERE to make your tax deductible donation.
- Volunteer! We are in constant need of generous volunteers willing to give their time. Contact us today and let us know you'd like to volunteer.
- Make a meal for a family dealing with cancer.
- Give blood or platelets! Blood cancer patients need many blood products so if you're able to donate blood, please do so! In the Texas Gulf area, you can donate blood at MD Anderson Cancer Center or Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center.
- Get listed on the National Bone Marrow registry! If you are between the ages of 18 and 45, please consider having your cheek swabbed. You just might be the match for a patient needing a transplant. Click HERE to find out how.
- Be part of our local LLS chapter's efforts to give to Halo House Foundation. We are collecting toiletries to donate (items such as soaps, lotions, shampoos, etc.). The mission of Halo House is to assist people of all ages who are being treated for a blood cancer by providing them with fully furnished housing at a very low cost while they are undergoing active treatment for their cancer at the Texas Medical Center. If you have items to donate, drop them off at the LLS office this week.
- Send a card to a child at Texas Children's Hospital. Just CLICK HERE to make the card and a volunteer will deliver it to the child.
- Give your hair to Locks of Love!
- Offer to decorate for the holidays. Families dealing with cancer are often really tired and just not up for putting up holiday decorations. Drop by their house with freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate and decorate for them!
- Hug the people you love today! Every day is a gift.
