12 Days of Christmas Giving Challenge

12 Days of Christmas Giving Challenge

Christmas is the season of giving, and children enjoy receiving presents during the holidays. However, not all children have the resources to get gifts. 

This season, we encourage you to join the 12 Days of Christmas Giving Challenge. The challenge starts on the 12th of December, and on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas, we will send you a video from the children showcasing one part of our amazing Campus expansion! 

We want to thank you for all you’ve given to make the dream a reality and encourage you to make Advocates of Love a staple in your philanthropic portfolio. 

What Are the 12 Days of Giving?

The 12 Days of Giving Challenge represents the 12 days between the birth of Jesus and when the three wise men visited him. It is a Christmas challenge that encourages small acts of kindness. 

The Advocates of Love team interprets the 12 Days of Giving Challenge as an opportunity to help people in need. The children of the Dominican Republic need donations to make this Christmas special.

How You Can Participate

Advocates of Love dedicates itself to the children of the Samaná Province in the Dominican Republic. Most children in the Dominican Republic must share everything, with few luxuries like toys and personal care supplies to go around. Many children do not even have the opportunity to go to school. 

Thanks to generous gifts from donors like you, we provide children in need with their own school supplies and a private education, their own toys and games, and opportunities to visit and learn about the country around them.

  •     Donate to support more children in 2022 
  •     Share the campaign or any video on social media and email a friend
  •     Donors will be part of the 12th Day Special! 
  •     Share the video on your own social media
  •     The largest donor, over $2,500, gets a free 5-Day Trip for 2 to visit the children (excludes travel day meals and flights). 

 

Your donations enable Advocates of Love to provide educational, physical, emotional, and spiritual support to children who need it most. This holiday season, participate in the 12 Days of Giving Challenge. Help Advocates of Love make Christmas special.
