\"GivingAs we enter the season for giving, and go out looking for that perfect gift for friends or family members, let’s not forget about all of the nonprofits<\/a> and charities<\/a> that are working tirelessly all year long to even the playing field for the disadvantaged, the disenfranchised, and the disabled.<\/p>\n

These charitable organizations depend on the philanthropic goodwill of businesses and individuals to fuel their activities that are making the world a better place, and a new campaign seeks to call attention to the importance of giving back to the community.<\/p>\n

Giving Tuesday isn’t complicated, it isn’t difficult to participate, and it could have far-reaching effects in both our local communities and the world at large.<\/p>\n

“We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. This year help us create #GivingTuesday. A new day for giving back. On Tuesday December 3, 2013, global charities, families, businesses, community centers, students and more will come together to create #GivingTuesday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Be a part of a national celebration of our great tradition of generosity.<\/p>\n

The second annual GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, we want the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
