Organizations throughout town and York Region are making pleas for support this Giving Tuesday Nov. 28. The holiday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday encourages people to do something generous after spending on the weekend sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation is one of many organizations seeking support, launching a campaign for 100 hours of giving for 100 years of Southlake that kicked off Nov. 26. Their campaign centres on Roger Fox, a supporter and volunteer for the hospital where he received cancer treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiving Tuesday is an opportunity to \u2018Care Like Roger,\u2019 and make a donation, which will have meaningful impact at Southlake,\u201d Southlake Foundation president and CEO Jennifer Ritter said in a news release. \u201cGiving Tuesday donations will help put new tools and technology directly into their hands. It\u2019s a holiday wish that we can all support coming true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charities throughout Newmarket are looking for support, including Blue Door, the Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association (NACCA) and BridgeNorth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing charity Blue Door has a matching donation campaign aiming to raise $50,000, running to Nov. to 28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in the most challenging of times that we look to our community to lift up people most in need. This is no doubt a time of great challenges and we need your help more than ever,\u201d Blue Door CEO Michael Braithwaite said in a news release. \u201cYour donation will go a long way in helping Blue Door provide the gifts of housing, health, and employment to people most in need, and together we can give hope for a better year ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NACCA is asking for donations to its scholarship program, which helps students entering post-secondary education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe the NACCA Scholarship will equip me to be a catalyst for equity, resourcefulness, and hope, inspiring a brighter future for all,\u201d 2023 scholarship award recipient Lola Irelewuyi said on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BridgeNorth, an anti-human trafficking charity, is holding a campaign entitled The Next Mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis holiday season, join us as we reflect on where we’ve been and look ahead to where we hope to go next,\u201d the charity said on social media. \u201cTogether, we can walk The Next Mile with strength, overcoming any obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southlake describes the story of Fox for its campaign, with Fox making a great effort to support the hospital that saved his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI give back financially because it\u2019s just another way I can express my gratitude for all the good stuff that Southlake has provided me over the years,\u201d Fox said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
