What is #GivingTuesday?

In the same way that Black Friday and Cyber Monday kick off the holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday kicks off the giving season. It was created in 2012 as a global day of giving back and doing good for others. In its three years, it has proven to be a successful fundraising tool. It has grown dramatically each year, with a total of almost $46 million raised in 2014, over 60% more than 2013. All signs indicate that its growth will continue in 2015.

We encourage you to join this tradition of generosity, and contribute to SeaShare on Tuesday, December 1st. When you give, share it on Facebook and Twitter using the #GivingTuesday to spread the word in your network, and inspire others to give!
