Today, we get together to give back! With another Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, there is no better time to take a short breather from the holiday haze of commercialization and consumerism. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014a $79 Dyson pet vacuum is certainly something to be excited about, but we hope you\u2019ll look beyond your shopping lists, if only for today. Instead, let\u2019s channel our giving spirit to a bigger cause.<\/p>\n<h3>A Global Day of Giving<\/h3>\n<p>Giving Tuesday (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GivingTuesday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#givingtuesday<\/a>) is relatively new to the realm of hashtag activism, but it\u2019s already making a big impact around the world. Conceived in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the U.N. Foundation, this growing movement is credited with moving over $270 million to worthy charities last year alone. During a season known best for early bird bargains, reindeer decorations, and (far too much) pie, it\u2019s refreshing to see a philanthropic initiative like this thrive.<\/p>\n<h3>Close to Home Causes<\/h3>\n<p>Over the past few years, ACS Creative has been fortunate and honored to work with some truly incredible non-profits. Through the course of these projects, their causes became our own. The passion they exude and belief in their mission is exciting and contagious. We hope after learning more about the organizations below, you will find it in your heart to join us in supporting that passion on this very special Tuesday!<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 17px!important; line-height: 28px!important; text-align: center; border-top: 1px solid #eae7e7; border-bottom: 1px solid #eae7e7; padding: 20px 0 30px 0!important; margin: 40px 0 30px 0;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-height: 50px; margin-top: 20px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/giving-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Britepaths Organization\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/britepaths.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Britepaths<\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"opacity: .5;\">Branding \/ Collateral<\/span><br \/>\nFor more than 30 years, Britepaths has been developing innovative, sustainable solutions that stabilize low-income working families.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/britepaths.org\/civicrm\/contribute\/transact?reset=1&amp;id=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donate Now \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-height: 50px; margin-top: 20px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/giving-logo-2.png\" alt=\"Capital Caring Organization\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalcaring.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Capital Caring<\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"opacity: .5;\">Website \/ Collateral<\/span><br \/>\nSince 1977, Capital Caring has worked tirelessly to improve care for those facing life-limiting illness through direct patient care, family support, public education, and advocacy.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/secure2.convio.net\/cc1\/site\/Donation2?2500.donation=form1&amp;df_id=2500&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;s_src=Lightbox&amp;s_subsrc=givingtuesday2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donate Now \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-height: 50px; margin-top: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acscreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/giving-logo-3.jpg\" alt=\"CASA Organization in Fairfax\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairfaxcasa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Fairfax CASA<\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"opacity: .5;\">Website \/ Collateral<\/span><br \/>\nAn advocate for abused and neglected children, Fairfax CASA ensures each child\u2019s needs are identified and addressed as they seek a safe and permanent home.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairfaxcasa.org\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donate Now \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Your monetary contributions will help these causes continue doing good for our families, our communities, and the world around us.
