#GivingTuesday Line it like a Pro Challenge


ree

Join the #GivingTuesday Movement… Right Here in Midtown!


This year, Adaptive Design is opening our workshop for in-person Giving Tuesday volunteer hours dedicated entirely to one mission:


Edging tactile symbol cards to build our inventory so teachers can receive them at no cost.


Every card helps a student communicate, learn, and engage more independently — and the demand from educators is growing fast. We need your hands, your focus, and your energy to help us meet it.


The #GivingTuesday “Line it like a Pro Challenge”

Can you:

🔹 Edge tactile symbol cards with consistency and care?

🔹 Help us stock enough inventory to support classrooms across the city?

🔹 Contribute to a hands-on effort that directly impacts students with communication needs?


Be part of the global #GivingTuesday movement right here in Midtown and spend an hour (or more!) making a meaningful, tangible difference. 🛠️ Sign up here: Link


Can't make it to the workshop, no problem! You can make a difference from home, in your community, or in the classroom. Follow the instructions below.
