Vol. 40 // NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER   

Hey there change-makers and social impact enthusiasts!

As we dive into November, we've got an action-packed newsletter that's hotter than a freshly baked pumpkin pie (with extra whipped cream, of course). But first, did you know that Giving Tuesday, the day of global do-goodery, was initially inspired by two things: the desire to balance out all that Black Friday shopping and the fact that the average American consumes 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving? 🍗 So while you're plotting your social impact strategy, remember, it's all about giving back without the guilt of those extra holiday pounds.

In this month's newsletter, we're serving up a feast of ideas for your social impact initiatives. We'll help you plan for the big Giving Tuesday extravaganza and look into our crystal ball for a sneak peek at what 2024 has in store for the social impact scene. So grab your cape and your coffee; let's dive in.

1 // 2024 Predictions

Alright, folks, gather 'round! It's that time of year when our main brainiacs, Ben "Trendsetter" Sampson and Andy "Crystal Ball" VandenBerg, dish out some industry wisdom. Thanks to our pals at Social Impact World, they even let a virtual audience eavesdrop on the fun. So grab your popcorn, because it's prediction time! 🎥

5 // Tired of sipping on "Eggnog-nog" at those run-of-the-mill holiday happy hours?

Don't get "wrapped up" in the same old festivities! This year, ditch the ho-ho-hum happy hours and "sleigh" it with us at a WeHero volunteer event!

'Tis the season to spread cheer in a new way! Trade in your "Merry-tinis" for meaningful moments, and swap the hangover for the high of making a real difference in the community. We guarantee you'll leave our events feeling a different kind of buzz – the kind that comes from giving back, connecting with others, and creating memories that last a lifetime. So say goodbye to the same-old-same-old, and hello to a holiday season filled with joy, purpose, and fun!

Join us for a holly, jolly good time that'll make your team "sleigh" those holiday blues.
