Day 3 & its #GivingTuesday! Giving Tuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season added to the calendar on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to a news release. The second annual Giving Tuesday is Dec. 3. Partners are asked to create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday and then help spread the word to their networks. Giving Tuesday celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations.
