Now that people in Billings have finished their holiday shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they will unite with millions of other Americans to celebrate Giving Tuesday. In the last few years Giving Tuesday has become the new tradition to kick off the holiday season by giving to nonprofits and community organizations. It is a global movement that connects people from across the world in an effort to promote philanthropy.

This Giving Tuesday, December 1, Billings TrailNet wants to encourage everyone to give back to their community. Today we ask all of our current members to make their end-of-the-year contribution. We also ask our supporters that have been thinking about becoming a part of Billings TrailNet to join us. Every donation counts, whether you make an annual gift or give a gift membership as a Christmas present to a loved one.

Billings TrailNet has contributed to the trail system since 2001, and so far has raised more than $400 thousand. We are so grateful to have so many generous sponsors, members, and supporters that give their time and money to help make the Billings community a better place for everyone.

You, your children, your family, and friends use trails for recreation or to get to work and school. We all know someone who uses trails in Billings. As the city grows, so does the need for more trails. Our goal is for everyone to be able to enjoy walking, running, using their wheelchairs, and biking in a safe environment.

Help us build a community-wide trail system, and support your community by donating to Billings TrailNet today. Become a new member, give a membership as a gift, or just make a contribution. Make this Giving Tuesday count by kicking off your holiday season by giving back to your community!
