Giving Tuesday
December 3rd, 2024
Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for Giving Tuesday.
Giving Tuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners – nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals – to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Across Canada and around the world, Giving Tuesday unites communities by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.
Donating to the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation for Giving Tuesday is a great way to give back to your community! This year MyFM Pembroke will match your donations, making them this years Matching Sponsor for Giving Tuesday and providing just one more reason for you to help out your Regional Hospital on Giving Tuesday!
The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation supports programs and services integral to the advancement of health care and the total well-being of the citizens of Pembroke and the surrounding communities by the raising, managing and distributing of funds to the Pembroke Regional Hospital.

ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY
GivingTuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement. Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a stranger, or giving to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give.
HOW IT BEGAN
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. The idea caught on, and has grown around the world, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. GivingTuesday was founded in 2013 in Canada by CanadaHelps.org, GIV3 and several other founding partners. GivingTuesday has active movements in more than 80 countries, working year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to create a world where giving is part of everyday life.
HOW FAR WE'VE COME
Within just a few years Giving Tuesday has grown into a global movement with hundreds of millions of people participating in whatever ways they can.
This November 28th, MyFM Pembroke has generously jumped on board to support Giving Tuesday here at the PRH Foundation by MATCHING your donations all day long!
Thank you MyFM for your generosity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of a donation can I make?
One time donations represent the largest every day portion of the activity at the Foundation. It could be a one-time fundraiser, like a donation in honour of a 50 year Anniversary celebration, or a celebration of life. It could also be as simple as making a donation to support your Regional Hospital because they helped you or a loved one. At the end of the day, every donation helps the Pembroke Regional Hospital’s front line workers have access to the best tools and practices to take care of our community, when we need them. You are making a difference.
What is the best way I can help?
Recurring (repeating) donations are some of the most valuable ways you can help our hospital and your community! With several easy-to-use payment plan options you can choose one that fits your lifestyle and aligns with your interest in helping our Cancer Care unit continue to thrive. Recurring donation options include: monthly, semi-annually or yearly amount that can be a commitment of up to 5 years at a time.
