Get Ready for Giving Tuesday with Waypoint Writing’s Ways to Give Back!

If you didn’t know already, the following Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday. Now, what exactly is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday was created to help nonprofits raise money. This holiday serves to offset the crazy spending for Black Friday and give back to other organizations.

Our First Ever #MerryMailCampaign Finishes Strong

Just over two weeks ago, we put out the call for our first ever Merry Mail Campaign in support of Cards for Hospitalized Kids. We wanted to do something to give back, but realized time was of the essence. 

Somehow, despite publishing our call for cards the day after Thanksgiving, we didn’t get lost in the shuffle of Small Business Saturday or the upcoming December holiday season. In fact, it’s fair to say that you heard our call loud and clear.

Like most holidays or days of note, #GivingTuesday snuck up on me. I realized it only yesterday after a friend posted about her favorite charity on Facebook. At the moment, I’m in the process of exploring in no particular order or reason, Tim Ferriss’ latest book, Tribe of Mentors. Having read Ferriss’ Tools of Titans, I picked up his latest work on a mad-dash trip to Barnes and Noble last Sunday in pursuit of gift cards for a celebration Monday night. See what I mean? Important dates creep up on me – my old school desk calendar with a thousand scribbled reminders, notwithstanding.
