Giving Tuesday - Volunteerism and Philanthropy

Don't forget - December 3rd is
 

Giving Tuesday is a national effort to promote volunteerism and philanthropy on Tuesday, December 3rd. We've seen tremendous support this year, from our favorite local nonprofits and businesses, all the way up to the White House blog.

While you're enjoying your holiday and relaxing with friends and family, we encourage the entire Philly community to get plugged in to Giving Tuesday, and to share your stories using the #GivingTuesdayPHL hashtag.

You can also follow the movement on the GivingTuesdayPHL facebook page, and make sure to follow Giving Tuesday University for last minute ideas for your organization.

Here's a few #GivingTuesday project stories that we've received: 
Sunday Suppers 
Sunday Suppers is a unique and innovative program that engages low income families with young children to help them eat healthier and make lasting changes in what food they purchase and how they prepare it. Sunday Suppers has received a $5,000 matching gift and all donations made on GivingTuesday will be doubled. Please visit our website – your donation will help change the life of a family in need.
Please Touch Museum
This year at Please Touch Museum we celebrate our 5th Birthday - In honor of five fantastic years we’ll be collecting fantastic high-fives all day - visit Please Touch Museum and donate five dollars at the admissions desk to help us reach our goal of $1,500 on #GivingTuesday, or visit our website –www.pleasetouchmuseum.org – to make a donation.
InLiquid Event: Juvenile in Justice
12/3/2013, 7:00pm – 10:00pm Icebox @ Crane Arts Building
On Giving Tuesday, Philadelphia will come together and celebrate the accomplishment of raising national attention around critical reforms needed to the juvenile justice system, to give over 500 youths a second chance. Join us for a great evening of drinks, dancing, art, and a juried awards presentation to deserving individuals and local organizations! Each $50.00 evening event ticket will help sponsor a participating youth in our clinic.
