While Giving Tuesday traditionally celebrates philanthropy and encourages individuals to help support charities, this year, The New England Center for Children approached the day slightly differently. Given how challenging the last year has been, instead of asking for continued financial support, NECC just wants to thank its network of friends, families, and corporate partners who have allowed the educational and direct-care staff to continue working with students. Their consistent, generous support has been truly remarkable and deserves recognition.

“We are so lucky to have donors who have gone above and beyond to support our mission this year,” says Beth McGonagle, Director of Institutional Advancement at NECC. “Whether it be through financial donations or donating PPE for our direct-care staff, so many of our friends have made a difference this year. We are so lucky to have all of them. On behalf of all of NECC, thank you.”
