December 7, 2012: Today is the second day of the Big Give Christmas Challenge in the UK! The Big Give’s Christmas Challenge provides donors with the unique opportunity to maximise their donations by matching donations up to £10,000. This year, for the first time, END7 is being featured as part of the Challenge.
Through our sister charity, the Sabin Foundation Europe in the UK, we are hoping to raise a total of £20,000 from the Big Give Christmas Challenge toward the END7 campaign, which seeks to raise awareness of the seven most common NTDs and the resources necessary to eliminate them by 2020.
For only three days – December 6th, 7th and 8th – donations made through the Big Give will be eligible for matching by our Trustees and Charity Champion (up to £10,000). We encourage you to donate tomorrow between 10-11am GMT to take full advantage of the matching funds before they are exhausted. Since it only costs 50 pence to treat one person for all seven NTDs for one year and 100% of your donations to END7 will go toward treatment programs around the world, you can help treat four people per pound donated if you give during the matching days!
We encourage you to consider a making a gift through the Challenge website helping us reach as many people as possible and to share this opportunity with your friends and family so that they too can help make a difference for the world’s poor. Thank you for your critical support!
