Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity and good deeds. It has been celebrated since 2012 on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and as a counterpoint to the Black Friday shopping frenzy. On this day, hundreds of millions of people across all continents come together to inspire generosity and do good. Do something good together with us not only on Giving Tuesday. Every good deed and act of generosity counts.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea to encourage people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. It was also created as a counterpoint to Black Friday, aiming to fight against the consumerism associated with it. According to a new study, the average Czech customer spends around 5,000 to 6,000 crowns on Black Friday, while the average annual donation to charitable projects is around 500 crowns. GivingTuesday encourages people to show kindness and generosity by helping others and making a positive impact on the world. There are various ways to get involved, such as donating money to non-profit organizations, giving away unused items to those in need, or becoming a volunteer blood donor. By supporting initiatives like "Ukliďme Česko" (Let's Clean Czechia), which focuses on environmental protection projects, individuals can contribute to building a better world. The message is to prioritize acts of kindness over consumerism and join the collective journey towards a happy ending where good triumphs over consumption.
