Celebrating togetherness, connection, and gratitude.
#GivingTuesday, the global day of philanthropy, takes place on December 3, 2024. #GivingTuesday is an international online movement that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to make a difference in the community. For #GivingTuesday, we celebrate togetherness, community, connection, and gratitude — this year, we’ll also celebrate PACE’s 35th Anniversary! In honor of this milestone event, we’ll share activities, resources, and stories highlighting our community of donors, staff, parents, and community partners. Stay tuned for more details!
Make a gift in honor of PACE’s 35th Birthday!
PACE will celebrate its 35th birthday on December 8, 2024 — To celebrate our milestone birthday, will you consider a gift of $35.00, $350.00, or $3,500.00 to the PACE Annual Fund on GivingTuesday? Help us reach our Year-End fundraising goal of $70,000 for PACE services!
For 35 years, PACE has been a beacon of support for autistic individuals of all ages and their families in the Bay Area. Our programs focus on the individual strengths and unique needs of each student, client, and resident, providing them with the tools and supportive environment to thrive and reach their fullest potential. Your gift, no matter the amount, makes the difference between state-funded autism services and the excellent learning opportunities PACE provides for every student, client, and resident.
This #GivingTuesday, will you help us reach our goal of $70,000 to support PACE programs? By making a tax-deductible gift to our Annual Fund, you will help advance our mission by providing sustaining funds for our programs, critical staff training and enrichment, and continuing education opportunities. Last year, thanks to the collective donations made on #GivingTuesday and throughout the holiday season, we raised over $80,000 for PACE!
