This Giving Tuesday, December 1, Duet: Partners In Health & Aging will inspire the community to volunteer, donate, and ask for help in support of its mission to promote health and well-being through vitally needed services to homebound adults, family caregivers, faith communities, and grandfamilies.
At a time when we are all experiencing the pandemic, generosity is what brings people of all races, faiths, and political views together. Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world.
The community can make a vital difference in the lives of local seniors by supporting Duet on Giving Tuesday in three ways:
- Become a volunteer. Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, we are pivoting from in-person orientations to an electronic format. Therefore, our December 1 orientation has been postponed. Please go ahead and complete this form and our staff will reach out to you as soon as plans are finalized for the new format.
- Attend the Discover Duet virtual tour. Join Duet on Giving Tuesday at 10 a.m. on December 1 for Discover Duet, a 20-minute informational Zoom tour. You’ll learn about their mission through facts and stories of the people they serve. RSVP is required to receive Zoom link. RSVP at duetaz.org/about, call (602) 274-5022, ext. 132, or e-mail applebyhoke@duetaz.org.
- Duet is rallying the community to give generously to support their vitally needed, free-of-charge services for homebound adults, family caregivers, faith communities, and grandfamilies. Donate at duetaz.org/giving or call (602) 274-5022.
“This year, Giving Tuesday is vitally important as we work relentlessly to continue offering supportive services to homebound adults, family caregivers, faith communities, and grandfamilies who have all been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and need our continued support now more than ever before,” says Tina Lopez, CFRE, director of development at Duet.
Giving Tuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past eight years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Community members can also help spread the word by sharing #GivingTuesday posts found on Duet’s social media: Facebook.com/duetaz, Twitter.com/duetaz and at linkedin.com/company/duetaz.
