At The BridgeLine, we are touched about all our wonderful friends who are sending so very generous donations.
THANK YOU!
As of today, we have received a total of $13,525 and we will reveal 38 more squares of Maggie’s painting. Any guesses what it is yet? Maggie had always a passion for art, but she had a special gift for painting with watercolors, like you can see here.
We all greatly appreciate your trust in our work, reflected in your gifts.
THANK YOU.
We had a great start on #GivingTuesday for our DOUBLE THE DONATION campaign.
How close are we to reach our goal?
Just within the last week we received donations from very generous donors and have now reached $6,300! Yeah, and THANKS to all our thoughtful friends.
We have overlaid one of Maggie’s paintings with 300 blank squares, each representing $100, and today we are “unveiling” 63 of them.
Curious about her painting? There is still enough time to make a contribution on our web site thebridgeline.org and for us to reach our goal of $30,000.
WE KNOW WE CAN DO THIS!
Maggie would be very excited about this challenge. Her career arc that included lawyer, teacher and researcher is marked by her compassion to advocate for others, a challenge she gladly took on. Maggie studied sign language to help hearing impaired clients have better access to legal representation and she took CLE courses in disability law to become knowledgeable about the rights and protections available to people with disabilities.
Thank you Maggie and THANK YOU for joining us in our campaign and to making it possible for Maggie’s friends at The BridgeLine to experience compassion of others.
Holiday food is delicious… But make sure to always nourish your brain with these great, healthy foods!
#GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness.
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. 
As a global movement, #GivingTuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. One of the best ways to get involved is in your own community. Click here to donate to The BridgeLine: https://www.thebridgeline.org/
