Mt. Juliet, TN – December 5, 2024 – Wilson Rides Inc. is thrilled to announce the success of its #GivingTuesday campaign and extends heartfelt gratitude to generous individuals and businesses who made it possible.
Thanks to the incredible support from the community, Wilson Rides not only met its $1,000 matching grant goal but also exceeded its overall fundraising target. These contributions will directly support the organization’s mission to enhance the lives of older adults in Wilson County, including funding its Holiday Happiness Delivered initiative, which spreads joy and connection during the holiday season.
Wilson Rides celebrated the success of its #GivingTuesday campaign alongside TDS Telecommunications LLC’s Giving Days initiative. The two efforts culminated this past Wednesday with a check presentation to Wilson Rides, delivered by Ryan Grantham, Field Marketing Manager for TDS.
“We are so grateful to the people and businesses for once again stepping up to support our mission,” said Gaye Lynn Wilson/Executive Director. “Your generosity ensures we can continue providing essential services and bring holiday cheer to those who need it most. To every company and individual who participated this year, thank you for making a difference.”
Wilson Rides Inc. remains committed to its vision of reducing isolation and promoting independence for older adults in the community. This year’s #GivingTuesday success highlights the power of collective kindness and the spirit of giving that defines Wilson County.
