Voice For Joanie, Inc. has joined the “Give Local” fundraising program to collect donations so we can continue to carry out our mission to provide adaptive communication equipment at no charge to victims of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), commonly know as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Give Local is a national program that aids non-profit organizations like VFJ by publicizing their work and helping them to gather donations. Give Local is a unique fundraising opportunity since some benefactors donate to Give Local as a whole and these funds are then divided and shared with the organizations seeking support in the form of a bonus donation. This bonus amount varies year to year. In the past it has amounted to an additional 11 – 15.6% of the direct donations made to each group.
Please consider donating to VFJ through Give Local on April 25th and 26th. You can do so by going to GiveLocalCCF.org.
The website will also allow yo to make donations to multiple organizations at once, if you would like. We will be given a list of all donors to VFJ so that we can thank each donor personally.
Give local provides us with a much broader base of donors who may wish to help us support the victims of ALS. For those of you reading a letter and not an email or this web page, checks are still an acceptable form of donating.
