We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
CAF America (Charities Aid Foundation of America) is highlighting the impactful work of its featured partners as part of the 2015 #GivingTuesday Campaign. In 2015 Kazickas Family Foundation in partnership with CAF America and NBA Cares launched "The Power of Basketball" initiative. It is a social responsibility program conducted by Capital Basketball School in Vilnius that provides the underprivileged youth all over Lithuania with free basketball lessons and professional counseling on issues that negatively impact Lithuanian society.
#GivingTuesday was founded in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. Together, with a team of influencers and founding partners, they launched a global movement that has engaged over 30,000 organizations worldwide.
It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join #GivingTuesday and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.
