The Story Behind Giving Tuesday...
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Giving Tuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.
Giving Tuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.
What is radical generosity?
While many call on philanthropists, policymakers and grantmakers to repair broken systems, GivingTuesday recognizes that we each can drive an enormous amount of positive change by rooting our everyday actions, decisions and behavior in radical generosity—the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering. Radical generosity invites people in to give what they can to create systemic change.
Why should I make a donation on Giving Tuesday?
It all started with a love of the arts and a love for the community of Mundelein.
Since John W. Lynn founded the group in 1966, the Kirk Players have been working to entertain theatergoers in the Lake County area and have been honored to give back to their home community. One of our most valued community service tenets is to provide ongoing contributions to arts and education organizations through our participation in the arts.
Each year, each season, the group has presented wonderful shows, while making it a priority to serve the community in many ways.
This wonderful organization gives money annually to three elementary school districts, Mundelein High School and Mundelein Parks and Recreation Department. The group also gives $1,000 scholarships to a Mundelein High School and Carmel Catholic High School senior who will be majoring in the performing arts. They also provide free Adult and Youth workshops in the summer that are taught by talented members of the group.
Their dedicated Board of Directors and membership are always happy to participate in local events, such as the 4th of July parade and the annual Arts Fest. The Kirk Players sponsor a $500 Emerging Artist Award for Arts Fest and enjoy being a part of the event every year.
The Kirk Players have become a very important and well-known organization in the area, known for their philanthropy and desire to make Mundelein a wonderful community and to provide people of all ages the opportunity to participate in or simply enjoy the performing arts.
Throughout our nearly 60 years, we have been privileged to donate in excess of $100,000 to more than 50 nonprofit local community organizations in Mundelein and the greater Lake County area, as diverse as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), food pantries, teen centers, special needs theatres and Boy Scout Troops.
This Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, we ask that you think about where you can make an impact and consider giving a donation to Kirk Players. Your gift will be put to great use in the arts and in the community.
