Giving Tuesday is celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and is the unofficial start of the charitable season. Since its inaugural year in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources. Last year donors raised $21,162 for Raphael House on this day of giving.
