Those who are superstitious think that the number 13 is an unlucky number, but today, for nonprofits around the world, the number 13 is actually downright auspicious!! We are counting our blessings along with the days because, if you count today, in just 13 days we will be celebrating #GivingTuesday.
#GivingTuesday is a worldwide movement, responding to the momentum of Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a call to set aside the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to donate generously to charity and give back to our communities. In 2014, Giving Tuesday had 27,000 partners in over 68 countries. Through the power of social media, more than 15.4 billion people helped spread the word, resulting in milestone trending on Twitter and most importantly, a tremendous increase in donations.
CUB is helping lead the giving charge with #OregoniansGive, a state-wide #GivingTuesday campaign. We want to start a new tradition! A day when charities, families, businesses, community centers, students, retailers and more will all come together around giving – whatever that looks like to them! #OregoniansGive on #GivingTuesday provides a framework and ideas for people to choose their own best way to contribute to their communities and will give Oregonians an opportunity to share their giving story.
Speaking of lucky, if you give between now and 8am on December 1st YOU will be entered into a drawing for a $25.00 gift card from your favorite locally owned coffee café. Additionally, 13 days from now on December 1st, there will be lots more drawings that you might be lucky enough to win!
1) On the hour from 9am – 9pm everyone who has given the previous hour will be entered in to win: a $10.00 coffee card from Dutch Brothers (or by request, another local coffee company).
2) At 3pm everyone who has given in the campaign up to that time will be entered to win: a $100 gift certificate to Made in Oregon.
3) At 9 pm, everyone who has given in the campaign up to that time will be entered to win: a two-night stay at a beautiful beach-side condo in Newport, OR! (Details coming soon.)
So please, Join CUB today! Participate in #OregoniansGive on #GivingTuesday and you could win a fun Oregon related prize. But regardless of whether or not you are lucky enough to win a prize, you will definitely be a winner. Your gift to CUB allows us to win for you, and other Oregon utility ratepayers, every day of the year!
When you give, please post your own Unselfie using our 8.5” x 11” form (‘cause you are being so unselfish) to help spread the word!
