Tuesday, December 3, 2013 marks the second annual national day of giving. Falling right after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday™ is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations.
The swimming community is a generous one. There is a large number of charitable organizations in which swimmers are involved, including, just to name a few:
Aaron Peirsol’s hike for We Are Ocean (the story)
Collegians for the Cure raising money for BCRF
Eric Shanteau’s Swim for Your Life
Fran Crippen Elevation Foundation
Jessie Rees Foundation’s JoyJars
Men’s health fundraiser
Swim for MS initiative of MSAA
Swim4Good’s swim for Worldreader (the story)
What are you doing for #GivingTuesday? Let us know how you are involved. Take your #unselfie and tag us via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so we can remind everyone how giving the swimming community really is.
