Family Car Foundation Partners with Giving Tuesday

MARIETTA, Ga. - Nov. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Family Car Foundation Inc., 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 revamp how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. With Thanksgiving Holiday and the kickoff of the holiday shopping season approaching,

#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 1, 2015, 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.

Led by the 92nd Street Y (92Y), came together to find ways to promote and celebrate the great American tradition of giving. Thought leaders in philanthropy, and social media joined with 92Y to explore what is working in modern philanthropy and how to expand these innovations throughout the philanthropic sector. The concept gained steam, and with the help of the United Nations Foundation and other founding partners, more than 10,000 organizations have joined the movement and are providing creative ways people can embrace #GivingTuesday and collaborate in their giving efforts to create more meaningful results.

“We are very excited to be a part of the Giving Tuesday online event.” said, Shamel Leonard, co-founder and CEO of Family Car Foundation Inc. “We hope that this event will have a successful turn out in the state of Georgia, there are many nonprofits and organizations that are participating.”
