Celebrating Giving Back

Mark your calendars for December 3rd. Giving Tuesday is a new national day dedicated to giving and volunteering.

As we announced yesterday, Giving Tuesday will takes place right after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and offers an alternative to those shopping-frenzied days by focusing on giving back instead of getting.

We're sharing stories from some of our donors and volunteers, asking them what motivates them to give.

Today's message is from another of our fantastic volunteers, Kamille, who says:

"I give because I want to leave a positive mark on others."

On Tuesday, December 3, join the Giving Tuesday movement:

• Share your own story about why you choose to give. Post a photo of yourself and your own message on our Facebook page.
• Donate to a charity on Giving Tuesday. Click here to make an online donation to ArtStarts in Schools.
  
• Double your impact! If you donate to a participating charity through Canada Helps and pay using Interac Online on December 3, 2013, Interac Online will match your donation (up to $25 per donation). Click here to make an online donation to ArtStarts in Schools.
