Colorado Gives Day is just around the corner!
Colorado’s largest day of giving takes place on Tuesday, December 4.  On this day, thousands of people come together to support Colorado nonprofits like ours.  It’s approaching fast—you can schedule your donation today.
When you donate to the Eating Disorder Foundation, you’re helping us provide educational resources and no-cost support to those with eating disorders, those in recovery, and their friends and families. EDF is the only  completely free and non-clinical resource in Colorado—and one of very few nationally—that is accessible to everyone, regardless of income, insurance, health status, weight, diagnosis, race, gender, or sexual identity.
This month, help us take advantage of the $1 Million Incentive Fund and reach our goal of $20,000.  Schedule your donation at www.coloradogives.org/TheEatingDisorderFoundation/
