Ten Reasons to Give

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. And it’s happening NEXT WEEK!

  • While GivingTuesday happens every Tuesday, the annual celebration of generosity will happen on November 28, 2023.

  • GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 11 years, this idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

  • People can show their generosity in a variety of ways during GivingTuesday⁠⁠— everyone has something to give, and every act of generosity counts.

  • Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental human value anyone can act on.

Here are 10 Reasons why we would be so grateful for your support of Yogi Squad on Giving Tuesday, November 28, 2023:

  1. Addressing the Children's Mental Health Crisis: Your support helps tackle the growing mental health crisis among children, providing essential resources to address their emotional well-being.

  2. Lack of Mental Health Professionals in Schools: Many local schools lack the necessary mental health professionals. Your donation helps bridge this gap, ensuring students have access to the support they need.

  3. Prevention Beyond Illness: Mental health is not just about treating illness; it's also about prevention. Yogi Squad focuses on proactive measures to instill mindfulness and resilience in children.

  4. Classroom as a Key Environment: Since children spend a significant amount of time in classrooms, it's crucial to provide mental health prevention and resources in educational settings. Your contribution supports creating a supportive learning environment.

  5. Increased Demand Due to COVID-19: The pandemic has exacerbated mental health concerns among students. Yogi Squad aims to meet the rising demand for mental health services in schools and support staff dealing with these challenges.

  6. National Concerns about Mental Health Services: Data from the National Center for Education Statistics indicates that 88% of public schools feel inadequately equipped to provide mental health services. Your donation helps overcome this limitation.

  7. Critical Limitations in Schools: Yogi Squad addresses critical limitations in schools, including insufficient mental health professionals, limited access to licensed practitioners, and inadequate funding. Your support directly combats these challenges.

  8. Community Support is Vital: Schools cannot operate in isolation. Your donation contributes to the vital community support needed to ensure the success and well-being of future community leaders.

  9. Proven Impact of Yogi Squad: Since 2018, donations and grant funding have enabled Yogi Squad to distribute over 14,000 mats in schools, daycares, community centers, and local businesses. Your support has a tangible and positive impact on the community.

  10. Mission to Reach 10,000+ Kids: Each year, Yogi Squad sets a goal to reach over 10,000 kids, and your donation makes this mission possible. By supporting Yogi Squad, you become a hero in a child's life, helping spread the wisdom and joy of yoga and mindfulness.

Join us on Giving Tuesday to make a difference in the lives of children and contribute to the success of Yogi Squad's mission. Every dollar counts, and your belief in us helps create a brighter future for the next generation.
