Why Giving Tuesday is the best day to help the youth in Acton-Boxborough Community?

Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It's a day when people all across the country come together to support the causes and charities that are important to them. And there's no better cause to support than our youth.


The Acton-Boxborough Community is made up of more than 5,000 students in grades Pre-K through 12. Our community is thriving, but our youth need our help. They need mentors and role models, they need access to resources and opportunities, and they need our financial support.

That's where Giving Tuesday comes in.


When you donate to Danny's Place on Giving Tuesday, you'll be helping to ensure that our youth have what they need to succeed. You'll be investing in their future and making a lasting impact on our community.

Here are just a few of the ways your donation can help:

  • Mentoring programs that pair students with positive adult role models, like DPYLC and DPYLC Jr.

  • College and career readiness programs that give students the skills and experiences they need for success after high school, like What's Next Starts Now and The U Project.

  • Student scholarships that provide financial assistance for college.

  • After-school and the possibility of summer enrichment programs that keep students engaged all year round, like our Penguin Club Program, Girls on the Run, Sparks and Me, ThinkGive, and Color Equality.

  • Community service initiatives that teach students the value of giving back. An example of this is, the group of DPYLC that will be raising money to support a Ukrainian Family living in Poland, that has strong ties with a family in Acton.

On Giving Tuesday, please consider making a donation to Danny's Place and support the youth of the Acton-Boxborough Community. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on our students and our community.

Thank you for your support and please help us spread the word! ✨🐧
