Teenagers have strong opinions, specific tastes, and a style that seems to change by the week. It's part of what makes them so fun, but it also makes them hard to shop for. This Christmas, we want every teen in our community to have the opportunity to pick out exactly what they want.
A gift card makes that possible. It lets a teen walk into a store, take their time, and choose something that feels uniquely them.
This Giving Tuesday, We're asking 150 neighbors to share $20 each, either as a gift card or as a financial donation, that will help us make sure all of our teens get the power of choice this year.
As one of the 150, you are sharing Christmas joy with a teen who is hard to shop for, but easy to love.
Make your $20 contribution below, or check out the suggested retailers to purchase a gift card from.
