AllOne Charities hosting 'Give Day' on Tuesday, Nov. 28
Nov. 27—WILKES-BARRE — John W. Cosgrove, CEO at AllOne Foundation and Charities on Monday said "compassion and generosity are core characteristics of the people of Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania."
Cosgrove said AllOne Charities' "Give Day" is the perfect opportunity for our fellow citizens to contribute to dedicated health care providers so our friends and neighbors can access vital human services.
"Give Day speaks volumes about the goodness of our community," Cosgrove said.
AllOne Charities will once again partner with local nonprofit organizations on a 24-hour fundraiser to kick off the Season of Giving.
This online event is held each year on Giving Tuesday, a worldwide giving phenomenon held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Everyone in the community is invited to participate in this year's Give Day on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
Cosgrove said 59 nonprofit organizations will come together as "ONE" to raise funds to improve access to health care.
"These nonprofits are making an impactful difference in the opioid crisis, food security, gaps in autism services, mental and behavioral health services, and for women and children," Cosgrove said.
Participating non-profits will have their first $1,000 raised matched 1:1 by AllOne Charities and there are thousands of dollars in additional prizes and challenges available.
Cosgrove said the generous corporate and community partners that make these prize donations possible include: Coterra, Highmark, Toyota Scranton, McCarthy Tire, FNCB Bank, and the Luzerne Foundation.
Community members can make donations online on Tuesday at —https://allonefoundations.org/all-one-give-day/.
You can also follow along with the #AllOneGiveDay hashtag on social media to hear about the important work our non-profit partners are doing for the community.

Give Day alone has raised a total of $522,216 in only 5 years.
