Dear _________,

As you may be aware, Giving Tuesday is on December 1, right around the corner! Giving Tuesday is a day of giving support to those in need. This year, I have made a commitment to partner with the American Trauma Society to support survivors of trauma, the #1 leading cause of death in people ages 1 to 46, according to the National Trauma Institute. The American Trauma Society is actively working to save lives, improve care, and empower survivors, and I have made it my personal mission to support them through my Giving Tuesday donation.

Did you know according to the National Trauma Institute, trauma accounts for more than $671 billion in healthcare and lost productivity each year? Together you and I can help support trauma survivors. Remember, no gift is too small or large. This year, the ATS and I have made it our goal to raise $2,000 to support them. The money raised on Giving Tuesday will help support the Trauma Survivors Network as they provide resources for trauma survivors and their families.

Take a minute to learn more about the impact the American Trauma Society is having on trauma survivors with the survivor stories below.
