#GivingTuesday
Save the date – Join the Global Giving Movement 11.28.2017
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
This #GivingTuesday, Claire’s Place Foundation is partnering with Facebook and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to make your giving so much easier and more impactful. We are setting up our campaign so that ALL donations made through our Facebook page on November 28, 2017 beginning at 5am PST will be free of fees and will be matched up to $50,000 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Our “Donate” button on our Facebook page will allow you to donate and share in one simple click ..easy peasy!
Be sure to set your alarms to make your donation early as the matching grant only lasts until they reach their $2,000,000 limit. For those of you on the East Coast, you get a great head start.
We encourage you to share our Giving Tuesday campaign on your own page or even fundraise on our behalf with your friends and family by a simple click of a button. Go to our FB page and click “Fundraisers” on the left side of the page. It will take you to a site where you can choose to “Raise Money”, create your own Giving Tuesday fundraiser and share it will all of your friends and family on social media.
This is the biggest day of the year to show your support for your favorite charities. We hope you are inspired by our mission here at Claire’s Place Foundation and choose to make a difference for families living with #cysticfibrosis on the daily. We are always grateful for you, our loving community of supporters.
Stay tuned for the countdown to Tuesday, November 28, 2017 and get ready to GIVE!

Sending you best wishes for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving
We sure do have a lot to be thankful for here at Claire’s Place Foundation and YOU are one of them. Thank you for supporting our efforts this year and making a real difference in the lives of children and families living with cystic fibrosis.
Our Founder, Claire Wineland, had the opportunity to speak to 1500 Zappos employees about what a gift it is to make a positive difference for others. Enjoy a little inspirational boost and remember that even a small gesture by you can make a big impact in a CF family’s life!

World of Children®Recognizes Claire’s Place Foundation
September 17, 2016
“The only way we ourselves can get through pain and suffering is by giving to others – so that is what my family and I decided to do.” ~ Claire Wineland
These are the words that started our foundation 6 years ago.
World of Children® Award improves the lives of vulnerable children by funding and elevating the most effective change makers for children worldwide. This year, our Founder Claire Wineland, has been awarded the Youth Award 2016 for the work she does here at Claire’s Place Foundation and with children living with cystic fibrosis around the world. We are humbled and grateful to say the least. Please take a minute and visit their website where you can see profiles of all the 2016 Honorees ~ quite an amazing group of individuals.
As part of their 2016 Award, World of Children® has initiated a matching campaign for Claire’s Place Foundation. All donations made through this Crowdrise link between September 15 and October 21, 2016, will be DOUBLE MATCHED up to $5,000. That means your $10 donation turns into $30 , your $100 turns into $300! And because they are underwriting all processing fees, 100% of your donation goes to Claire’s Place Foundation and the families we support!
We don’t want to miss out on a single penny of this amazing offer to help children living with cystic fibrosis. World of Children will match our $5,000 with another $10,000 making a grand total of $15,000! We can do this with your help.
“When a child is sick, especially with Cystic Fibrosis, nothing matters more to them and their family than being able to be together… but often that requires a lot of love and support from others”
On behalf of all the children and families we will be able to assist with your donations, thank you!
