Global day of giving to bolster Little City Hero campaign in support of people with developmental disabilities .
PALATINE, IL – Little City will once again join the #GivingTuesday global movement on Dec. 3 to raise money for the vital programs and services offered to the more than 1,300 people with developmental and intellectual disabilities the agency serves.
#GivingTuesday has been an incredibly successful day for Little City over the years, inspiring old and new donors alike to support the agency in greater ways each year. This year, #GivingTuesday will be part of the Little City Heroes campaign celebrating the participants, supporters and staff that have made Little City special over the past 60 years.
The heroes who donate on #GivingTuesday will once again see their gift be super powered as The Coleman Foundation is providing a match up to $12,500.

“Giving Tuesday has become so integral to the support Little City receives and we are thrilled to once again take part in this inspiring global day of giving,” said Shawn Jeffers, Little City Executive Director. “We look forward to engaging with our supporters and spreading the awareness of our mission to a larger community.”
#GivingTuesday is much more than financial support at Little City. Roughly 100 volunteers from corporate partners will come to the Little City Palatine campus on Dec. 3 to volunteer in beautifying the campus and engaging with residents.
