December 1st may be the start of a new month, but for homeless dogs and cats the date will also mark the start of a better tomorrow thanks to a day that combines philanthropy and the festive season. Created in 2012 by The 92nd Street Y with help from the United Nations Foundation, #GivingTuesday is a happening with heart that is fast becoming a holiday tradition.
In 2014, people around the globe generated a total of $45.7 million for a wide array of good causes, with Best Friends Animal Society among the many non-profits to benefit from the benevolent event.
How You Can Help Best Friends
On December 1st, every donation to Best Friends will double as the contribution will be matched 100 percent! You can make your contributions through the Best Friends Animal Society donation page.
Also on Giving Tuesday, Best Friends Animal Society will unleash its annual Best Friends $2 million Holiday Match, when each monetary holiday gift received will be matched up to $2 million by a group of donors.
Dog devotees and friends of felines can celebrate both the spirit of sharing and Best Friends’ mission to Save Them All by following Best Friends Animal Society on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Beginning December 1st the renowned non-profit will post hourly videos and Periscope Live videos, offering animal lovers the chance to visit in the virtual world with Best Friends co-founder and CEO Gregory Castle, pooches at play at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary’s Puppy Preschool and tiny fur babies at the kitten nursery in Los Angeles.
