[LISTEN] GIVING TUESDAY: How The UNITED WAY Is Helping Kids With Their IGNITE ACADEMY
It’s GIVING TUESDAY, the world’s largest generosity movement.
Considered by many as the day that kicks off the giving season, it directly follows three major shopping days: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. It started as way to give back after saving on those shopping days.
UNIETD WAY WINDSOR ESSEX celebrates 75 years, and they ae helping the youth in our community in a big way. the Ignite Academy program helps about 360 students in Windsor offering out-of-school programming four days a week to help kids succeed academically, while wrapping other supports around kids and their families.
Lorraine joined me to discuss how important the next 75 hours are, and to chat about their initiatives for #GivingTuesday this morning.
