Today, United Way for Southeastern Michigan is hosting a special live event on its Facebook page with its new brand ambassador, artist Mahogany Jones, on Giving Tuesday. To kick off the giving season, the first 100 donors to give $100 or more on that day will receive a commemorative United Way branded S’well bottle to honor the organization’s 100th anniversary. Best yet, AAA The Auto Club Group is this year’s match challenge sponsor. The giving could be three times as nice as AAA has offered to match all donations received up to three times, up to $25,000, starting at noon today through Dec. 31, 2017.
During the Facebook Live event, Jones will discuss United Way’s work, take questions, and share how the community can volunteer and get involved. Donors will also have opportunities to make their best gift to leverage AAA’s giving match challenge, which requires a minimum $40 gift. The more you give, the more AAA will match. For example, for a gift of $40 United Way will receive $80; for $60: $180; and for $120: $480.
To participate today with United Way on Giving Tuesday with Mahogany Jones to impact the lives of families in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties, visit unitedwaysem.org/GivingTuesdayLive or join @UnitedWaySEM on Facebook at noon.
