Education Foundation to celebrate Giving Tuesday
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. 

The Carrollton City Schools Education Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Carrollton City Schools district. This year, all Giving Tuesday donations will benefit field trip programs at Carrollton City Schools. Your donation, no matter how large or small, will help send a child on a field trip allowing them to have experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives. 

We hope you will join the movement and give on GivingTuesday, Nov. 30.
