On December 2, Giving Tuesday is coming to Canada and King's. In partnership with GivingTuesday.ca, the staff in the office of development and alumni affairs will challenge the King's community to give back in any way they are able. In honour of our 60th anniversary, the goal is to engage 60 donors.

 

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that originated in the United States with the idea that after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there should be a day devoted to volunteering, supporting the community and philanthropy.

 

Stop by the Darryl J. King Student Life Centre for treats and coffee on December 2, 9am - 2:30pm. No donation is too small. Your participation is what counts.
