#GIVINGTUESDAY is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, communities, businesses and organizations like us in all 50 states and in countries around the world! Millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
Fast Facts About #GIVINGTUESDAY:
