The month of November is a great opportunity to get into the fall spirit of giving and explore all of the causes present this month. Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and National Native American Heritage Month all take place in November, but these occasions are only a few of the charitable opportunities this month offers.

October is one of the busiest months with opportunities to give back and create an impact in many different facets. Not only is October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but also Domestic Violence Awareness Month and it includes World Mental Health Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, among others.

From September 15th to October 15th, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates and platforms the rich history, culture, efforts, and contributions of American citizens with ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central as well as South America.

Today, we come together to celebrate Earth Day by recognizing the negative impact our society has on the planet, while also demonstrating how we can take action to protect the planet moving forward.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we are excited to announce the appointment of Bill O’Brien as our new Executive Director and Laura Thi Germine, Ph.D., to our board of directors.

Coming up on August 26th, Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution but also brings awareness to women’s continuing efforts to achieve full equality within our society.
