As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the power of generosity and the impact it can have on our communities.
Giving Tuesday, celebrated this year on December 3, is a global movement that inspires individuals to give, collaborate, and celebrate philanthropy. This day provides an opportunity to reflect on the causes close to our hearts and support nonprofits making a difference in the world.
RW2 Career and Technical Education is committed to empowering individuals, especially those from low- and moderate-income backgrounds, by equipping them with the skills necessary to excel in high-demand technical careers.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join RW2’s mission by supporting our Let’s Go to Work! campaign.
What Is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday, established in 2012, is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. It was created as a counterbalance to the consumer-driven days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
On this day, individuals, families, businesses, and communities worldwide come together to make a positive impact by donating to nonprofits, volunteering their time, or simply spreading kindness.
The movement has grown exponentially, raising billions of dollars for charitable causes worldwide. It serves as a reminder that collective action can lead to significant change. Whether it’s a small donation or a large contribution, every act of generosity counts.
