Holiday Charity Involvement
The holidays are an ideal time for giving, a time when decorating the office and letting your hair down at the company Christmas party can easily be supplemented with charitable giving.
This year, Lexus is teaming up with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation as part of its “December to Remember” sales event, and will be donating $5 to Toys for Tots for every big red bow shared via Facebook and Twitter.
“As a follower of Lexus online, you can help Lexus reach its goal well before the deadline, even before Christmas. On Facebook, fans make the donation through one simple click on the ‘December to Remember’ tab at facebook.com/lexus. Twitter users can make a difference by using the #lexusbigredbow hash tag. This initiative represents a first for Lexus, using social media channels to advance a charitable drive.”
The Lexus “December to Remember” program has existed for many years, but turning to social media to spread the word may prove to be their most beneficial tactic yet. Lexus is giving a great example of how to use the digital world in a positive way for both their brand and a worthy cause.
The Outsell Caring Committee participated in the Volunteers of America “Adopt a Family” program for one of our December holiday events. We sponsored three families who are in need this holiday season. By purchasing items recommended on each family’s wishlist, Outsell participants brought in and wrapped Christmas presents for families who otherwise might not have had much under their trees this year.
What are you doing to support local and national charities this holiday season?
