"On Tuesday, December 1, 2020, the VPPPA is participating in GivingTuesday. We have a goal of raising $3,500 for our scholarship fund.
As many of you know, we typically hold a raffle at the annual Safety+ Symposium to raise money for our scholarships. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to hold Safety+ in person this past August. That’s where you can help.
On Tuesday, December 1, 2020, please consider donating to our scholarship fund. The VPPPA scholarships support the next generation of safety stars.
Visit www.vpppa.org on December 1 to give.
*All donations are tax-deductible."
Every year, the VPPPA offers four scholarships each worth $3,500 to support students who have demonstrated leadership and commitment to safety and health in their schools and communities. This is a membership benefit as only members and family (child, grandchild, spouse) of full-member sites in good standing can apply for the VPPPA scholarships. Learn more about our scholarship program here.

What is #GivingTuesday?
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. It is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday is held annually the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and this year it is on December 1, 2020. "
