HCP Joins Global #GivingTuesday Movement

news | Oct 31, 2017

On Tuesday, November 28, 2017 charities, families, businesses, communities and students around the globe will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving

Himalayan Cataract Project has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Occurring this year on November 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the US) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

This year HCP is teaming up with Crowdrise once again for our #GivingTuesday initiative, giving you the opportunity to choose how you give! You can choose to start your own fundraiser on November 21 and turn your $25 donation into a $250 fundraiser, donate on November 28 or simply share our fundraiser across social media amplifying our efforts to meet our fundraising goal of $25,000 on #GivingTuesday.

How it works:

Everything launches on Tuesday, November 21st, 2017 at 12pm ET and runs through Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018 at 1:59:59 pm ET. Those who are interested in joining HCP’s #GivingTuesday campaign please visit: https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/himalayan-cataract-project1
