Kenny Neighbors: Tell Us About Your Holiday Giving

Details

Published: 10 October 2016 10 October 2016

Dear Neighbors,

For the next issue of the Kenny Neighborhood Newsletter, we’d like to highlight some personal stories of holiday giving and philanthropy. You don’t need to tell us how much you give (as a matter of fact, please DON’T tell us that!), but we’d like to know which charities some of you support and why.

Tell us about the charities you give to and why they are important to you- all the better if it has a Kenny connection, but that isn’t required. For instance, do you give in honor of a loved one? Do you give due to a personal experience with an organization? Have you started an organization because of your conviction for a cause? KNA will not be endorsing any specific organization, but is just trying to give a sampling of what is important to Kenny neighborhood residents. We will not print anything that is of a political nature (we all want to remain friends!)

If you'd like to share your story, e-mail us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Your submission should be 2-3 paragraphs and feel free to include the website. We’ll include as many as we have space for.

Deadline: Oct. 21

Thanks in advance to all of you great neighbors in Kenny.
