While Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are all important days for retailers and the economy, non-profits hope there is still some money left to support Giving Tuesday.
It has rapidly become the most important day of the year as a world-wide movement including Canada where $50 million is donated in just 24 hours.
Locally, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, arguably the largest charitable organization in the North Okanagan, has announced a matching gift of up to $50,000 courtesy Grizzly Curb and Concrete owners Linda and Gord Ball. The campaign is for an additional X-ray machine at VJH.
Other charities have smaller but no less important Giving Tuesday campaigns.
