Warner Theatre Joins #GivingTuesday

The Northwest CT Association for the Arts - Warner Theatre has announced that it has joined #GivingTuesday.

#GivingTuesday is a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season. #GivingTuesday was started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a response to commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season. "We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give."

"#GivingTuesday is a counter narrative to Black Friday and Cyber Monday because it reminds us that the spirit of the holiday giving season should be about community and not just consumerism," said Kathy Calvin, CEO of the UNFoundation. "The most meaningful gift we can give our children, loved ones, friends and neighbors is the commitment to work together to help build a better world."

The Warner Theatre joined as a partner as a part of its Annual Appeal Campaign and will be promoting #GivingTuesday through our social media contacts, encouraging our community to think about all of their favorite causes on this day.
