Giving Tuesday
WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY?
Each year, the Tuesday following Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday. For 2020, Giving Tuesday falls on December 1st. This global movement gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on. We all have gifts to give, and this year you can make the greatest impact by contributing to the community while supporting the next generation of stewards and community leaders.
HOW CAN I MAKE AN IMPACT?
This year during Giving Tuesday, we find ourselves thankful for the generosity of past gifts that have brought Blue Ridge Discovery Center to where it is now: on the brink of launching into one of the greatest treasures of the Blue Ridge Mountains!
With restoration of the historic Konnarock Training School underway, we are now raising funds to furnish this incredible building. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to help transform an empty shell of a building into the Blue Ridge Discovery Center by making a tax-deductible contribution toward furnishings for the schoolhouse. You may considering giving the value of one of the following items, or simply give the value of your choice. Surprise a loved one by making a gift in their honor! Who wouldn’t appreciate an honorary toilet in their name?

Curtain panel, $25
Lamp, $35
