Black Friday, Cyber Monday... Help Launch Giving Tuesday

Image
        On Tuesday November 27, 2012 , charities, families, businesses and individuals are coming together to transform the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.   It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to join in acts of giving. Tell everyone you can about what you are doing and why it matters. Join a national celebration of our great tradition of generosity. And together we’ll create ways to give more , give better and give smarter . http://givingtuesday.org/     I love this idea.  Take the purchasing power of the holidays and turn it to the organizations in our community that make a difference in people's lives all year.  Many people do volunteer and donate during the holidays already, so this serves as a commencement or framework to centralize and celebrate the efforts.    The website provides great ideas for individual and businesses to get involved.  Y
