Skraptacular Urges You to Join #GivingTuesday
Skraptacular is joining a national movement to celebrate #GivingTuesday: a day when charities, individuals, families, businesses, community centers, students, retailers, and others come together to encourage more, better and smarter giving during the Holiday Season.
Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, two of the biggest shopping days of the year, #GivingTuesday is a day to give, rather than spend. Last year 100,000 people like you participated. The #GivingTuesday campaign is a platform for you to contribute to your community to help make this the biggest giving season yet! All of us at Skraptacular know that you care about making a difference, and that's why we invite you to join #GivingTuesday.
Donate to or volunteer for groups you care about (we hope that includes Skraptacular) and encourage your friends to give. Let's show the world that when we open our wallets we can change the world for the better.

And you don't have to use your credit card or cash to participate in #GivingTuesday. Take a page from Skraptacular's (recycled) book: make something special for someone you love from all the plastic clamshells, packing peanuts and cardboard that come with Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials. Here's one idea:
