2020 #GivingTuesday Contest
It's safe to say 2020 has been one for the books. We all need a time out and a moment to catch our breath. We hope to bring some extra smiles this holiday season with our annual #GivingTuesday Contest! Every year, #GivingTuesday has grown more popular around the world. People are sharing and contributing to the social needs that mean the most to them. This year, #GivingTuesday is December 1, 2020. On this day, the world will turn to supporting social intiatives surrounding medical, education, and community resources.
