Support the DSC Foundation on “Giving Tuesday”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 25, 2014) - When it comes to holiday shopping, most everyone

knows about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But the Daytona State College Foundation is urging area residents to mark Dec. 2 on their calendars as a day that perhaps most aligns with the spirit of the holiday season – Giving Tuesday.

Founded in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation, Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to paying it forward, a day when organizations and people from all walks of life around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

“The DSC Foundation helps thousands of students succeed by providing scholarships based on academic merit or financial need, but we can’t do it alone,” said Executive Director Kay Burniston. “Supporting our students through the Foundation is an investment in the skilled workers and professionals who will drive our local economy into the future and lift our community, so we ask that everyone who has the means, please remember us in their Giving Tuesday considerations.”

All gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible. Donors can support the scholarship or program of their choice. To make a Giving Tuesday donation, visit www.givingtuesday.org, and choose Daytona State College Foundation or visit foundation.daytonastate.edu and choose Make a Donation.
