Today Is #GivingTuesday

After Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday comes #GivingTuesday, the latest addition to a post-Thanksgiving lineup that shifts the holiday focus from getting to giving through community philanthropy. Some Spokane groups plan to mark Dec. 2 by encouraging people to pledge time and donations in support of specific community programs. The initiative includes a big social media push with people posting #unselfies, which are photos of individuals showing support for causes on Twitter or Facebook. Nationwide, #GivingTuesday enters its third year after being founded in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation/ Treva Lind , SR. More here.
