Celebrated on the Tuesday following the shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the “National Day of Giving,” #GivingTuesday, began in 2012 to bring focus to the charitable season using the power of social media. In 2015, the initiative raised more than $116 million in more than 70 countries.
SAE President Cuneyt Oge has pledged to match any donations to the SAE Foundation, made on Nov. 29, up to $2,500.
