About The History of Giving Tuesday:
According to Wikipedia, “GivingTuesday, often stylized as #GivingTuesday for the purposes of hashtag activism, refers to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is touted as a “global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.[1] Giving Tuesday began as an idea in 2011, the brainchild of the non-profit Mary-Arrchie Theater Company in Chicago and then-producing director Carlo Lorenzo Garcia, who urged shoppers via The Huffington Post to take a different approach; to consider donating to charity after they had finished their Cyber Monday shopping. He suggested the name Cyber Giving Monday.[2] The initiative was officially founded the following year and branded as “GivingTuesday” by the 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation,[1] as a response to commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season (Black Friday and Cyber Monday).[original research?] The date range is November 27 to December 3, and is always five days after the Thanksgiving holiday.“
