Greetings Educators,
December 1, 2020– This GivingTuesday, Black Educators Rock, Inc will inspire generosity by donating one-hour online tutoring sessions and/or discovery calls from some of our amazing nonprofit members and Edupreneurs.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday will kick off the generosity season this year by inspiring people to give back on December 1, 2020, and throughout the year.
During this unprecedented year, B.E.R. is joining #GIVINGTUESDAY in a multifaceted way, to support the mission of our nonprofit (yes, we are a nonprofit!) as well as offer the expertise of some of the most talented BIPOC educators in the country and internationally by offering tutoring sessions to students disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 global pandemic.
Please take the time to share why you unselfishly support BER or how being part of the organization has helped you by posting an “#unselfie” using the hashtag, #BERGivingTuesday on social media, start your personal Facebook campaign to raise money for Black Educators Rock, Inc. on Facebook (donations may be matched), or share our campaign ( donations are tax deductible) with your friends, families, and colleagues.
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving to causes we care about, every act of generosity counts. GivingTuesday has raised billions of dollars for critical causes around the world and gets 21 billion impressions on social media from people and organizations speaking up for the causes that matter to them and encouraging others to get involved in their communities.
"GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year," said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and co-founder. "With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world."

If you can't give or volunteer, please support BER through Amazon Smiles. Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchases to BER if you register here on Amazon.
