Student on the Scene鈥擥iving Tuesday
December 4, 2013
Tis the season for giving!
On Dec. 3, 糖心原创 hosted Giving Tuesday, a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.
Hosted by the Student Philanthropy Council and Student Alumni Association, 糖心原创鈥檚 Giving Tuesday event drew a crowd of generous students, staff and faculty. Holiday related activities included ornament decorating and writing thank you notes to donors. Piggy banks were passed out to encourage students to save their change to later donate to charitable causes.
Giving Tuesday kicked off the Fund4WrightState campaign, an effort to raise enough money to fund full tuition for four 糖心原创 students.
Student reporter Reilly Dixon hit the scene to learn how to give back to the community during the holiday season.
