9/11 DAY: The 9/11 Day Observance, created by the 9/11 nonprofit MyGoodDeed and the 9/11 community, is a nonprofit, privately funded initiative to encourage Americans and others to annually observe 9/11 by engaging in good deeds, supporting causes, and taking time to volunteer in their communities. For the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, MyGoodDeed and HandsOn Network, the volunteer activation division of Points of Light Institute, are leading efforts to organize the single-largest day of charitable service in U.S. history in tribute to the 9/11 victims and survivors, and those that heroically rose in service in response to the attacks. Other influential program leaders include the 9/11 Memorial, Business Civic Leadership Center of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AARP, The Mission Continues and the Corporation for National and Community Service. Major funding has been provided by lead contributor American Express, along with GlaxoSmithKline, JPMorgan Chase and Best Buy. Independent research indicates that as many as 20 million Americans will observe this 9/11 through some form of charitable service, making 9/11 the single-largest day of charitable service in U.S. history.
