Giving Tuesday: Give the Gift of Education


With Black Friday and Cyber Monday officially behind us, it's time to come together and collectively give back by celebrating Giving Tuesday. Booker T. Washington once said, "Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others."

Not sure how to participate? There are several ways that you can participate this year, including using your voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes.

One of the most significant ways to give back is within your community. 

Remember, when you give back, great things happen to others and yourself. 

Consider donating to a Georgia college or university, where you can contribute towards a campus program, student scholarship, and a local community.
