Turnstone Celebrates #GivingTuesday with $10,000 Match from AWS Foundation

FORT WAYNE, IN (November 29, 2019) –Turnstone has joined the #GivingTuesday movement, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

The community is invited to celebrate #GivingTuesday by making a donation to Turnstone or signing up to volunteer for an upcoming event or program. Gifts to Turnstone on #GivingTuesday will create double the impact because AWS Foundation has agreed to match new and increased gifts $1 for $1 up to $10,000.

Taking place this year on Dec. 3, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick off the holiday giving season. #Giving Tuesday is intended to inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

"Turnstone is grateful to be able to participate in the worldwide #GivingTuesday movement," said Mike Mushett, Turnstone Chief Executive Officer. "Support from our donors help Turnstone ensure we are able to provide vital resources and services for children and adults with disabilities when they need it most."
