[i]How often do we have a chance to see 12/12/12? It is certainly rare – perhaps even once in a lifetime. [/i]

We at Givology feel that “12/12/12” symbolizes the launch of our brand new website and campaign– this 2012 holiday season, we have a singular opportunity to show everyone what we can do together with Givology. Our organization is growing up and maturing into an entity that will raise millions of dollars to help students around the world. Are you ready to join the campaign of the century?[/i]

[u][b]The Inspiration[/b][/u]
2012 has been a year of milestones. We are now helping over 170 individual students and contributing to over 55 projects, spanning nearly 30 countries. We have 20 chapters worldwide, 100+ volunteers. But what about annual donations? We want to show off our new website, make our partners proud and provide them with an equally wonderful growth in Givology donations!

2 years ago, we raised ~[b]$75K[/b]. Last year, we ended with ~[b]$100K[/b]. This year, we want to hit a milestone that reminds us all of an incredible[b] ’12[/b]… [b]$120K[/b][b].
[/b]
Adding it all together, we’re shooting for [b]$295,000[/b]. So keep looking at the bottom of our website for this number!
