Today Is "Giving Tuesday"

There are many motivations for a person’s charitable giving -- to help fulfill your life’s goals and passions; to feel a sense of value and satisfaction;  to perpetuate a certain belief, or simply to say "thank you."

After Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there's one more day that shouldn't be overlooked. And that is Giving Tuesday, which is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations.  So if you haven't spent your last $10 on holiday decorations or gifts, you just might be motivated to make your most memorable purchase yet of a birthday gift for a less fortunate child at http://www.cheerfulgivers.org or support another of your favorite charities.
