What is Giving Tuesday?

First observed in 2012, Giving Tuesday (sometimes styled as #givingtuesday) is an internationally recognized day of giving back. Occurring on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, this holiday takes the spirit of giving thanks that we feel each year and puts it towards making a real difference in our community. The holiday has been recognized here in Arizona for that entire time, where it is celebrated alongside Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Small Business Saturday.
