GivingTuesday is a movement created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. GivingTuesday was born and incubated at the 92nd Street Y and its Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact in New York City. GivingTuesday is now an independent nonprofit and a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
In honor of #GivingTuesday, Dr. Faustino Bernadett would like to highlight the organizations he has supported this month.
The first organization Dr. Faustino Bernadett would like to highlight is Los Angeles Challenge.
Los Angeles Challenge was built on the foundation of promoting positive change among economically disadvantaged children. They help create opportunities for educational achievements by providing a learning environment that optimizes academics, character development, personal attention, and diligence. They hope these children can become well-equipped for future academic endeavors while experiencing the joys of learning.
We’re embracing the “challenge” of promoting positive change in the lives of economically disadvantaged children by providing opportunities for achievement through high-quality kindergarten through high school education.
Dr. Faustino Bernadett and his wife Dr. Martha Bernadett chose to support this organization because of its mission of educating children. Since 2004, Dr. Faustino Bernadett and his wife Dr. Martha Molina Bernadett have had a particular focus on helping nonprofits that reduce disparities in access to education and health.
