Every year, Giving Tuesday follows a busy holiday weekend of gathering with friends and family, and shopping for the best deals. Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that encourages people to get involved in their community, volunteer their time, or donate to a worthy cause. This year Giving Tuesday will be on November 27th, following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Join the movement and make a difference in the lives of others. The following are three great organizations worth donating to this Giving Tuesday.
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
Located in Florida, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is one of the leading pediatric hospitals that provides a wide variety of services including treatment of trauma-related accidents, minor illnesses, and complex medical conditions. The hospital is a vibrant and welcoming building, with large colorful murals, and themed floors found throughout. Another amazing feature the hospital offers is a place to stay for families receiving medical care at the hospital. Conine Clubhouse offers families a “home away from home” free of charge for families of children who are hospitalized. Consider making a gift to the hospital to support their ability to house families on campus, provide exceptional healthcare, and to support the many services and specialties they offer to thousands of families every year.
