BEST Kids, Inc. Celebrates GivingTuesday, Joining Millions Around the World Participating in the Global Generosity Movement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 08, 2021 - BEST Kids has been working to build healthy futures for youth in DC area foster care through one-on-one mentoring for 20 years. This GivingTuesday, the agency strives to continue this work by inspiring local DC residents to learn more about the over 120,000 children in care throughout the nation and explore ways individuals can help support and strengthen DC families.

“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.”

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 30, 2021, and throughout the year.

People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger, showing up for an issue, 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 billions of impressions on social media from people and organizations speaking up for the causes that matter to them.
