Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc Helps “Get Out the Give” As Part of #GivingTuesday

Nov. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link Inc. (SEM Link) is part of the inaugural #GivingTuesday, a nationwide movement that harnesses the 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. #GivingTuesday has already inspired over 1,400 organizations and people in all 50 U.S. states and around the world to take collaborative action. Scheduled for November 27, 2012 – the Tuesday after Thanksgiving – and the Day after the famed “Black Friday and “Cyber Monday” shopping days, #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create an opening day for giving.

SEM Link joined to #GIVINGTUESDAY Initiative to bring awareness and resources to support Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. SEM Link will be launching its End of The Year Giving Campaign on #GivingTuesday to support its two core programs, Experimental Design Program and Math and Science Career Academy, that enhance the STEM educational experience for K-12 students by providing them opportunities to engage in hands-on STEM activities, explore STEM careers and learn about real-world applications of STEM.   “SEM Link is excited to be a part of this national campaign to encourage individuals to give back to their communities by supporting charities during the holiday season.” said Ms. Tokiwa T. Smith SEM Link Founder and Executive Director.  You can make your financial contribution to  SEM Link’s End of the Year Giving Campaign, online via the campaign website https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=60605 or mail your check or money order made payable to SEM Link to P.O.

About #GivingTuesday

#GivingTuesday is a movement to celebrate and provide incentives to give. It will culminate with a national day of giving on November 27, 2012. This first-of-its-kind effort harnesses 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.  #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 celebrate and help create a better world. #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays that is dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are synonymous with holiday shopping.
