The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation Education Fund is aligning itself with the Giving Tuesday phenomenon that is gaining momentum across Pennsylvania and across the country. It has received wide coverage in the print and broadcast media as well as on the Internet.

Giving Tuesday is a new tradition this year that is intended to kick off the holiday giving season. It began as a simple idea. Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday are days for getting good deals in stores. But Giving Tuesday is the day for giving back.

“Many worthy causes are part of Giving Tuesday, but we want to make sure that pro-life advocates in Pennsylvania know about this campaign and can take part in a way that reinforces their deeply held values about the sanctity of life,” said Michael Ciccocioppo, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation. “Our purpose is to keep life issues on people’s minds as much as we can, because there’s nothing more important than saving the lives of preborn children and protecting their moms from the horror of abortion.”

The holiday giving season that Giving Tuesday initiates is the period from Thanksgiving through Christmas to the end of the year. This is the time when many nonprofits raise the bulk of their funds in order to carry out their missions.

“It’s vital for donors to realize the importance of this season – not only for celebrating with family and friends but also for taking time to do something good that really makes a difference,” Ciccocioppo said. “Pro-lifers across Pennsylvania feel the urgency of this cause, and they step up to make their voices heard. We’re grateful for their dedication and support.”
