Behind the Badge Foundation Joins the National #GivingTuesday Movement to Encourage Spending With a Purpose Behind the Badge Foundation has joined #GivingTuesday, a first of its kind effort that will harness the collective power of a unique blend of partners, charities, families, businesses and individuals to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. Coinciding with the Thanksgiving Holiday and the kickoff of the Holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday will inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support and help create a better world. Taking place December 2, 2014, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are, today, synonymous with Holiday shopping “#GivingTuesday is a counter narrative to Black Friday and Cyber Monday because it reminds us that the spirit of the Holiday giving season should be about community and not just consumerism,” said Kathy Calvin, CEO of the UN Foundation. “The most meaningful gift we can give our children, loved ones, friends and neighbors is the commitment to work together….” Those who are interested in joining Behind the Badge Foundation’s #GivingTuesday initiative can visit: The Foundation’s web site: behindthebadgefoundation.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday website (givingtuesday.org) Facebook page (https://facebook/GivingTuesday) #GivingTuesday https://twitter/GivingTues and the #GivingTuesday hashtag on Twitter.
