    Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday - December 2, 2014

    Posted Monday December 01 2014 at 10:07 pm in News

    Giving Tuesday - December 2, 2014

    We have a day for giving thanks.  We have a day for retail bargains.  We have a day for cyber deals.  Wouldn't it be great to have a day for giving back?

    We do.  Giving Tuesday 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 nonprofit organizations.

    Please help us continue our great work by giving to VSA Massachusetts this holiday season.

    Thank you.
