Friends of Rogers will once again participate in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday kick
\noff the holiday giving season, while #GivingTuesday inspires people to improve their communities by donating to local charities.<\/p>\n

To encourage support of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Blueox Energy will match any donation made to Friends of Rogers on #GivingTuesday, up to a total match amount of $250.<\/p>\n

\u201cRogers Center is a beloved part of our community, and we encourage others to join us in supporting this regional landmark,\u201d said Julia Miller, Director of Business Growth & Development. \u201cEveryone is invited to participate in this challenge, when each donation will be matched, dollar-for- dollar, up to our\u00a0total pledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those interested in making a special #GivingTuesday donation – to be matched by Blueox Energy – are asked to process gifts through FriendsorRogers.org\/donate anytime from 12 am until 11:59 pm
\nNov. 28.<\/p>\n

For the second consecutive year, Gilligan\u2019s of Sherburne will offer a #GivingTuesday opportunity in support of Rogers Center. From 4 pm until close, 20% of evening meal proceeds will be donated to Friends of Rogers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful to Blueox and Gilligan\u2019s for partnering with us,\u201d said Simon Solomon, executive director. \u201cThe support from these organizations is inspiring! We hope community members take advantage of these special opportunities so that their financial support can have the greatest impact possible at Rogers Center.\u201d<\/p>\n
