Posted: Tuesday, November 10, 2015Bengal Chase Challenge Begins Today
Buffalo State College will participate in #GivingTuesday on December 1, 2015, but #GivingTuesday is much more than one day in December. #GivingTuesday is a global day driven by social media, collaboration, and participation. Observed the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable giving season.
Last year more than 27,000 organizations in 68 countries came together to celebrate #GivingTuesday. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater donations, volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in the world. It’s an international movement, and our campus is a proud participant.
We’re rallying the entire Buffalo State community to participate in #GivingTuesday. Please join us and make a difference: share a volunteerism story or support a charity and post using the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #UnleashTheBengal on your social media accounts.
