First, there was Black Friday, then Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Now presenting #GivingTuesday! A global day dedicated to giving back.
On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, community, company or organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. THEN take an #UNslelfie! You don’t have to be a world leader or a billionaire to give back. #GivingTuesday is about ordinary people coming together doing extraordinary things, including here in Anne Arundel County!
Join AACVC and make your community giving part of a global celebration of generosity. We have TONS of opportunities for you to get involved—there’s something for everybody and so many different ways to give back! December 2nd is just the beginning of the giving season, while we know the holiday season can be a busy time of year, we can all set aside some time to give to a cause we believe in. We have over 300 non-profit partners listed on the AACVC.org website. There is bound to be an organization or a cause that you are interested in serving as a volunteer.
Whether you want to give your time, lend your expertise, or contribute donations–everyone has something to offer! We want to help you help others in whatever way we can, and we have some great events and projects in the works to get you started.
