You got up early on Black Friday and tried to catch some incredible deals.  You got up on Saturday and supported small businesses by shopping small.  Monday, you were online shopping for gifts online for Cyber Monday.  There’s one more day that you might want to celebrate with a catchy name and even more meaning than any of the others that I just mentioned.

It’s #GivingTuesday.  It’s a day where the world gets together to give back.  Find a charity that you believe in and donate to them.  If you really wanted to, you could make it a gift to someone by donating in their name to a charity of their choice!

Find something you care about and make the world better.  It doesn't matter how much you give.  Little actions can make a BIG impact.

I also think if you can keep it local, you’ll be best.  So some ideas for charities in the area that you can give?
