SCI Woburn Encourages Participation in #Giving Tuesday

Fundraising goal set at $1,700

Following on the heels of Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday is #Giving Tuesday, an initiative dedicated to giving.

“We’re seeking to jump-start our year-end campaign with 20 donations of $10 or more, and at least 20 social media shares about SCI’s campaign,” according to David Crowley, president and founder, SCI (Social Capital Inc.) Woburn.

SCI Woburn set a fundraising goal to raise $1,700 to train young leaders, which is one of their year-end campaign objectives. #GivingTuesdayemphasizes teaching the importance of giving, a central element of the SCI youth leadership programming that trains over 250 Eastern Massachusetts teens in Boston, Fall River, Gloucester, Lynn and Woburn.
