Many
Ways to Give
|
|
 As the holiday season approaches, so
does the charitable season. To kick it off, please consider making a
contribution to PATH Intl. Whether it's through Colorado Gives Day
(December 8, 2015) or the increasingly popular Giving Tuesday (December
1, 2015), designed to counter Black Friday and Cyber Monday by
encouraging a different type of giving, there are many ways and many
reasons to support PATH Intl.
Click here for the PATH Intl. Giving Tuesday page. Or click
here to donate now. Then make sure to use the #GivingTuesday on
social media and let us know how you gave back on Giving Tuesday!
