We have a day for giving thanks. This year help create #GivingTuesday™, the giving season’s opening day. On Tuesday November 27, 2012 charities, families, businesses and individuals are coming together to transform the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.
It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to join in acts of giving. Tell everyone you can about what you are doing and why it matters. Join a national celebration of our great tradition of generosity.
Our more than 2,000 recognized #GivingTuesday™ partners have come from all 50 states of the United States, and are either registered charities [a 501(c)3] with a specific #GivingTuesday initiative, or they are for-profit businesses, schools, religious or community groups who have committed to spearhead a project that will benefit at least one 501(c)3.
Due to Hurricane Sandy, there are more people who need your support more than ever including AsianInNY’s continued efforts for Breezy Point Firefighters. If you would like to donate to Breezy Point Firemen, you can write a check to TAC-GNY (tax deductible) Address: 120 E. 36 Street, #1A, New York, NY 10016.
Many businesses are also affected by the storm in Chinatown NY, so with your help, they can rebuild faster. And together we’ll create ways to give more, give better and give smarter.
