On June 15, 2010, we blogged about Worldwide Day of Giving.  Today, we want to give you a heads-up that, once again, this special day is quickly approaching.  This year’s effort takes “a slightly different twist,” according to the Year of Giving website. Check it out to see how you can make a difference on Wednesday  – and perhaps gain some ideas of how to volunteer in your community throughout the year.

Our industry has a long history of giving back – through charitable donations to causes both large and small, as well as volunteer opportunities in communities across the nation and around the globe.  Many of our member companies have information about these efforts on their websites; you also can find information on some of these efforts throughout our website.

So you have two days to think about if – or how – you may participate in the 2011 Worldwide Day of Giving.  We hope you consider taking some time to help make a difference in this world we all share.
