So What’s the Story with #GivingTuesday?

From the Giving Tuesday site:

“We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, 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, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.”

Be creative - the world needs any kindness you want to bring to it.  Or as Sean Gardner (@2morrowknight on Twitter) summarizes it, “Think like there is no box. Support other[s]. Have fun.” (Read more details on how to be a good Giving Tuesday Ambassador here.)
