#GRGives on Giving Tuesday

A green background features white text reading, "#GivingTuesday"

It’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and you know what that means. And, if you don’t, we’re about to tell you.
Yes, you may be feeling the lull of Thanksgiving leftovers, and your bank account may be diminished from Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday … But, today isn’t about spending, and it’s not about you…it’s about giving back.
It’s #GivingTuesday!

What is #GivingTuesday?

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
