Matheny's National Day of Giving Campaign Begins December 2
#GivingTuesday campaign supports Matheny Center of Medicine and Dentistry.
On Tuesday, December 2, the Matheny Medical and Educational Center is once again joining thousands of causes around the globe to celebrate #GivingTuesday, a national day of giving to celebrate the holiday season. On the heels of two big spending days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday is intended to refocus the holiday season on giving back to those who need it most.
Matheny is a special hospital and educational facility in Peapack for children and adults with medically complex developmental disabilities. We are focusing our #GivingTuesday campaign on raising funds for the Matheny Center of Medicine and Dentistry, which provides the best medical, dental and therapy care possible to kids, teens and adults with disabilities in communities throughout New Jersey. Unfortunately, less than 50% of the cost of that care is covered by insurance.
#GivingTuesday was the idea of the 92nd Street Y in New York City, which created the concept in 2012 in partnership with the United Nations Foundation and provided support to other participating organizations. The idea is simple: We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. #GivingTuesday is a day for giving back.
