Tuesday, December 1st, is Giving Tuesday, a global movement that gives people the chance to change their communities for the better. Today we come together as a collective UMD community to show our support to those working tirelessly during this unprecedented time. The nurses and doctors at Children’s National Hospital are risking their lives every day in order to make sure that the children of our community can stay as healthy and safe as possible. Today we are asking all of you to do one simple thing, write a virtual letter to the staff members at Children's National Hospital to thank them for all their hard work.

Facebook will be matching $7 million worth of donations that come through Facebook Fundraisers!
