#GivingTuesday
Join in giving back and giving thanks on December 3rd! #GivingTuesday, which launched last year, celebrates charitable giving and reminds the world that the holidays mean more than buying and getting “stuff.”
Microsoft YouthSpark will provide a 1:1 matching donation to all gifts made to GlobalGiving.org/YouthSpark/Heroes for 24 hours starting at 9am PST on December 3. These donations will go to organizations that provide education, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people. In addition, Microsoft Stores will donate a 25$ gift card to the GlobalGiving.org/YouthSpark/Heroes with every purchase on #GivingTuesday.
Leading into #GivingTuesday, Microsoft is also highlighting employee “Giving Heroes” who have made a very specific and direct impact on the lives of young people in their communities. Check out the Microsoft Facebook page and the Microsoft Citizenship blog for more details.
Here’s a chance to give back, I know I will be, and I will do it with my son to make sure he understands what it means to be grateful and to help others!
