In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, Jay Winuk, co-founder and Executive Vice President of 9/11 Day, joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore how a day born from tragedy became one of the nation’s largest days of service.

Jay shares how the loss of his brother, Glenn, inspired him and co-founder David Paine to transform the anniversary of September 11 into a day dedicated to remembrance and doing good. The conversation explores how coalition building, national service, and accessible ways to participate have helped 9/11 Day grow over the past 25 years.

Listeners will hear how 9/11 Day is engaging generations with no personal memories of the attacks while preserving the meaning behind the observance. Jay also offers a powerful reminder that meaningful movements can begin with a simple idea and that everybody has the opportunity to make a difference.
