You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Those days when you can shop 'til you drop? Appliances and toys for special prices if you get up super early, have a plan of attack and stamina.  Typical Black Friday crowds

#GivingTuesday is way better.
It's on December 3rd, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and it's an opportunity to give back to the community, to support the organizations that bring us together in common causes. 
How Giving Tuesday makes you feel
A nice part about GivingTuesday, is you don't have to fight crowds or get up before the crack of dawn to be successful!

Raise $5000 by the end of 2013.
Why? So that Read To Succeed Asheville can:
- Provide specialized training for new volunteers, needed to meet unprecedented demands for their skills in our city elementary schools
- Launch a new and exciting project - a free summer week-long day camp for our students. (We lose a lot of ground during the summer, if our students don't keep up with their literacy skills. A day camp will be fun and productive!)
And here's where YOU make the *magic* happen:
