Catholic schools in DOT to rally support for Giving Tuesday Dec. 3

AS GIVING TUESDAY APPROACHES ON DEC. 3, Catholic grammar schools in the Diocese of Trenton are poised for the sixth year to campaign for donors to remember Catholic education through charitable gifts.

Now a global phenomenon, Giving Tuesday started in 2012 to prompt people to give to organizations that support their values, particularly on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Comprising countless nonprofits and donors, the nomenclature follows the pattern of shopping days like Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
