Giving Tuesday

Join us on December 3, 2024, for North State Giving Tuesday! This year, we are excited to participate in this incredible 14-hour giving event aimed at supporting our local non-profits and making a tangible difference in our community. With your generous contributions, we can bring the Redding Tai Chi Meditation Garden to life within the serene McConnell Arboretum & Gardens at Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

Our vision for the Tai Chi Meditation Garden is to create a peaceful sanctuary where individuals of all ages and abilities can practice Tai Chi and other meditative exercises. This unique space, adorned with a captivating Yin Yang symbol, represents the harmony and balance we aim to cultivate within our community.

Your support is crucial in helping us achieve our goal. With a current estimate of $175,000 for construction, we’ve successfully raised $120,000 and need your assistance to secure the remaining funding. Your donations are fully tax-deductible, and each contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to establishing this transformative space for our community.

Let’s come together on Giving Tuesday and build a haven for well-being and tranquility. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the health and vitality of our community. Together, we can create a nurturing environment for personal growth and holistic well-being. Join us in shaping a brighter future for all.
