December 1st, 2015

The Freedom to Read Foundation is participating in #GivingTuesday not just to raise awareness and funds for defeating censorship in schools and libraries, but also to help raise awareness of #GivingTuesday through social media and email campaigns, encouraging its supporters to join this unique call to action and give back. Coinciding with Thanksgiving and the kickoff of the holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday will inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support, and help create a better world. The campaign will culminate with a national day of giving on Tuesday, December 1, 2015.

Those who are interested in joining Freedom to Read Foundation’s #GivingTuesday initiative can visit https://ftrf.site-ym.com/donations/donate.asp?id=6202  Instead of standing in lines on Black Friday or paying shipping fees on Cyber Monday to gift a book for someone you care about, donate to protect their freedom to read on #GivingTuesday by #GivingfREADom. Thank you!
