Friends of the Inyo's Board of Directors, checkbooks in hand, have literally "Reached for the Sky" with their giving this year! Together, they have put up a $21,000 Matching Gift for our Year-End Fundraising Campaign, which kicks off in just one week, on November 29, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, AKA #GivingTuesday! Thanks to our Board Members' generous match, your charitable dollars will double and you will be able to help us raise $42,000(!) in support of our mission: To Protect and Care for the Public Lands of the Eastern Sierra. Here's how it will work: At 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time Monday, November 28, a Giving Tuesday Donation Page will go live on our website, FriendsoftheInyo.org, and as Monday turns into Giving Tuesday and for the next 24 hours, you will be able to make your donations DOUBLE by giving online to Friends of the Inyo. On this upcoming Worldwide Day of Charitable Giving, you, too, can "Reach for the Sky" and donate generously, thereby helping to ensure that our protection and care for the public lands of the Eastern Sierra can continue well into 2023 and beyond. Over the Airwaves: On Giving Tuesday morning, Nov. 29, at 9:15, be sure to tune in to KMMT-FM (106.5 in Mammoth Lakes; 104.9 in Bishop; 105.5 in Big Pine; 107.7 in June Lake; and streaming live online at kmmtradio.com). Host John DeMaria (in hat below) will talk with Friends of the Inyo's Communications and Philanthropy Director Lou Medina (foreground) about #GivingTuesday, why it's important, and why your donation to #FriendsoftheInyo matters now more than ever. Thank you in advance for your support! Till then, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! | |
