272: Giving Tuesday Through a Child’s Eyes: Lessons in Generosity and Community with Mallory & Emmie

GivingTuesday is more than just a calendar date; it’s a reminder of what generosity can do when people decide to show up for one another. Generosity isn’t always about money; it can be about time, support, sharing skills, or simply choosing kindness. It is a day to remember that small acts, multiplied by millions, can create lasting impact.  In this special episode, Mallory is joined by her daughter Emmie to read the book “How to Start Fundraising.” Emmie shares her experience participating in community activities like picking up trash and spreading kindness by cheering for friends in a basketball game, showing how the little act of showing up matters to people. Reading independently for the first time, Emmie reads us a story about Hannah and Steven, reminding us that we can spread kindness to a lot of people at the same time, however small it is. They concluded the episode with much-needed words of encouragement and good luck to fundraisers in their journey of creating lasting change.  Get all the resources from today’s episode here.  Connect with me:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_malloryerickson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthefundraising YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@malloryerickson7946 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/mallory-erickson-bressler/ Website: malloryerickson.com/podcast Loved this episode?
