Double Your Impact: Thrivent Matches Donations for AFH Giving Tuesday Week

Posted: Updated: by Jasmine Moore

Athletes for Hope (AFH) is thrilled to announce a weeklong Giving Tuesday campaign, made even more powerful thanks to our ongoing partnership with Thrivent. From November 24 through December 2, every donation made to AFH will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $40,000—doubling your impact in creating athlete philanthropists and changemakers.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing athlete testimonials on Instagram, showing the real impact AFH has on athletes and their communities—and why our programs are essential to empowering athletes to lead with purpose.

Your support helps AFH tackle critical causes, including physical and mental health, while empowering athletes to use their voices for positive change.

We’re especially excited to launch this campaign ahead of our Play for Good Gala on December 6, where Thrivent will serve as the presenting partner. Together, AFH and Thrivent are making it easier than ever for supporters to contribute to lasting change—and to see their generosity multiplied.

Join us in making a difference this Giving Tuesday week. Every donation counts, and every dollar goes twice as far.

What is Giving Tuesday and How Can Athletes Participate?

Posted: Updated: by bsanchez

The days following Thanksgiving are the highest grossing days for retail of the year. Everyone is trying to get the best deal on gifts for the holidays. There is Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and now Giving Tuesday – a day set aside for helping your favorite charity.
Giving Tuesday was created to promote charitable giving in the United States and is celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Here is how you, as an athlete, can participate:

  • Donate
    Whether you donate $10 or $1000, your donation will go to help your favorite organization do good things in the world.
  • Buy all of your holiday purchases using AmazonSmile:
    AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. Click here for more information about AmazonSmile.
  • Share on social media:
    Check out your favorite charity’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages and share their Giving Tuesday posts. Is your charity not on social media? Share why you support their work in your own social media post.
  • Contact us for other ideas:
    You don’t have to donate your money to help a charity.  Call us and we can help you find a way to give back to a cause you care about.

Whatever you decide to do, know that your cause needs your support to help others and Athletes for Hope is here to help you find out the best way for you to do that.
