#GivingTuesday

We learned last year that the CelloBello community enjoys the philanthropic energy surrounding #GivingTuesday, the global day of giving when people come together around the values of service and giving. This year, #GivingTuesday will occur on November 30. The #GivingTuesday movement started in 2012 and that year raised $10 million dollars for charity. The experience went viral almost immediately, with $511 million raised in 2019, and last year, 2020, raised $2.5 BILLION dollars in online charitable gifts to nonprofits. Let us know if you are interested in knowing more by emailing donate@cellobello.org, and stay tuned to our social media and website as we approach this special day of philanthropy, as we will be sharing CelloBello impact stories and musical bon bons.
