#GivingTuesday is coming – Help Us With #HalePetDoorGives

November 20, 2017 10:33 am

We had a nice response to our Veteran’s Day weekend charity promotion and donated 5% of our net sales to Paws & Stripes and America’s VetDogs – Veteran’s K-9 Corps. Thank you all for participating with #HaleGives.

This has inspired us to do more, so on Giving Tuesday, 11/28/2017, Hale Pet Door will donate 10% of our net sales to the Humane Society of the United States. #HaleGives #HalePetDoorGives

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 and is a global day of giving. Celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, it kicks off the holiday season by giving back – to your community, to charities – by volunteering, gifting or donating money. Created to combat commercialism and powered by social media and your collaboration.

Why is Giving Tuesday important:

  • Allows you to feel better about yourself
  • We help those in need
  • Everyone can participate

Ways to share on Giving Tuesday:

  • Give to your favorite charity or a new one
  • Volunteer at a local shelter or hospital
  • Donate items: blankets, clothes, coats, etc.
  • Use the hashtag #GivingTuesday to help raise awareness of the occasion among your social networks

More about Giving Tuesday:

Created by the team at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact — a cultural center in New York City that, since 1874, has been bringing people together around the values of service and giving back—Giving Tuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of influencers and founding partners joined forces, collaborating across sectors, offering expertise and working tirelessly, to launch Giving Tuesday and have continued to shape, grow and strengthen the movement. Giving Tuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources. https://www.givingtuesday.org/about
