What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a worldwide celebration of generosity held each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Created in 2012 as a counterbalance to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it redirects attention toward giving back. In 2024, Americans came together in extraordinary ways: 36.1 million people contributed a record-breaking $3.6 billion to causes they care about. This is your chance to join a global movement and make Bard your favorite place to give this Giving Tuesday.
