Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement that always takes place on the Tuesday after Cyber Monday.  It was initiated in 2012 in the United States and has grown into a global movement with active participation in over 80 countries. 

While every day is a great day to give back to those around us, we hope that Giving Tuesday will inspire you to give an end of year donation to the Service Club.

The Service Club is a 501(c)(3) charity and your donation is 100% tax deductible.
