Across the country, the Gives Day movement has been spreading since its origination in Minnesota in 2009. Many states have been able to raise over $10,000,000 for nonprofit organizations, thanks to thousands of donors stepping up and participating in this great philanthropic event. We hope that Alabama will be able to show the nation how giving we are by supporting our favorite nonprofit organizations in a big way. Even the smallest donation can make a big impact when our state comes together.

The purpose of this article is to ask you for your help in the following three areas:

1. Mark this Thursday, February 2^nd, 2012 on your calendar and add this giving link. (http://algives.razoo.com/story/Greengateschool)
2. Follow us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/GreengateSchool) and share our Alabama Gives Day posts and spread the word on Twitter.
3. Help build the buzz! Forward this email to your family and friends along with a personal note as to why you believe in our work, and why they should give on February 2^nd, 2012.

Please be our champion, and help us see it to the top! We can’t wait to celebrate the difference your generosity will make on February 2^nd, 2012.

Have you seen our sign in the window that says that Greengate is a HATS-STEDTRAIN School Grant Recipient?  Have you ever wondered what that is? 

HATS stands for the Huntsville Association of Technical Societies.  STEDTRAIN stands for Science and Technology Education and Training.  Each year, this organization receives grant proposals from individual teachers in schools throughout the Huntsville region for projects that involve math, science, and technology education, and after thoughtful review, awards grants to support the most worthy projects.
