Randolph College joins the global #GivingTuesday movement

December 1, Randolph College will join #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

#GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday was created to kick off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and giving back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

“This is the first year Randolph College is participating in this global day of giving,” said Jennifer Williams, Annual Fund gift officer. “Friends of the College are welcome to share the #GivingTuesday message socially and encourage the spirit of giving during this holiday season in support of the College.”

All gifts given to the College on December 1 will count toward #GivingTuesday participation. Gifts to the Annual Fund provide unrestricted revenue to support all areas of the College, such as student scholarships, internships, study abroad programs, academic resources and technology, and enrollment initiatives.
