At 10, Giving Tuesday Has Turned Into A Global Movement

This morning I adopted a baby elephant from Sheldrick Wildlife Trust as a Christmas gift to a family member. SWT has a matching donation today.

Giving is the best feeling. Seriously underrated in our egoistical society.

[thomasdequincey]

Has it? This is the very first time I've heard of "Giving Tuesday".

[t.r.campbell]

This is the first time I have ever heard of, “giving Tuesday.” I am surprised that the media would focus on this because it seems foolish that we would only want to give on one day out of the year.

Katie Slobbs is a candidate in an election she is responsible for certifying. Nope ... no conflict of interest there.

There is more happiness in giving than receiving - the Bible

[jeaniebird]

Yikes, ... I've never heard of this and it's ten years old??

[bikeboy]

Happy to donate to Big Cat Rescue today. Gotta take care of the kitties!😊

[johnconnor]

Dear alphabet community. Don’t tell me I have to accept who you are when you couldn’t accept who…..you were.

[Chulitatr]

Giving Tuesday... The GOP: Bah Humbug!

[relativity]

I would like to remind any democrats feeling alone and depressed this holiday season that it is still against the law to abduct a child .

[punapeter]

NEVER HEARD OF IT. they won't stop until there are 365 stupid holidays a year. COMMERCIALISM
spend spend spend, don't give to -charities- corporations who pay their CEO hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who donated for people in need. This is an ADVERTISMENT.

[KevinWJenner]

Super... a real March of Dimes. Great to know that the main source of giving is paying for more Champagne at titty parties and phat paychecks cut themselves by gold diggers.

Charity/non-profit got so much today.

[josephjones]

As a test I entered "ZA noitcele duarf" (in reverse from this) and my comment immediately disappeared. Nope... no censorship there.
