The Ohio State University at Marion celebrates Giving Tuesday with Time and Change The Ohio State campaign, joining millions around the world participating in the global generosity movement on November 29, 2022.
MARION, OHIO, TUESDAY, NOVMEBER 29, 2022 – This Giving Tuesday, Ohio State Marion will inspire generosity by becoming a champion for Ohio State’s students, faculty, staff and community partners. You can invest in their extraordinary potential to improve lives and communities in ways we haven’t yet imagined.
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 November 29, 2022, and throughout the year.
“Our students benefit greatly from the generosity of our donors,” said Ohio State Marion Director of Development & Community Relations Cathy Gerber. “Every year we hear from students about the impact a scholarship award has made on their lives. Much of that is supported from the kindness of donors. People who understand that investing in the potential of people who are trying to better their lives and the lives of those around them is extremely fulfilling and rewarding,” she added.
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past ten 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, 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."
