Giving Tuesday 2025

Each year around the holidays we do our best to give back to our communities in any way we can. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as “Giving Tuesday” a day where many charities and nonprofits will match donations to increase their impact. We ask each member of our team to select an organization important to them that we can donate to on Giving Tuesday. In 2025 we were able to support 8 different causes that serve groups in need all over the world.

ACLU

The ACLU works in the courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to all people in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.” - http://www.aclu.org
