“We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back.”
This year, Plymouth 400 will once again be partnering with #GivingTuesday to promote philanthropy, volunteerism, charitable giving, gratitude, and thanksgiving; themes that are essential to the foundation of this nation.
What is #GivingTuesday?
#GivingTuesday is an international movement that was started in 2012 by the 92nd St. Y in New York. It is a holiday to highlight giving back. This December 1st, we encourage you to take part in #GivingTuesday by making a donation, spreading the word about your favorite nonprofit, or volunteering!
Last year on #GivingTuesday, 30,000 nonprofits in 68 countries raised more than $45.7 million. Let’s increase those numbers AGAIN this year!
