We've had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

 

Today is Giving Tuesday, a day started in 2010 with the hopes of encouraging people to do good and contribute to non-profit organizations.

 

Locally, 25 non-profit organizations in Mecosta County are gathering at the Big Rapids Eagles Club today to participate in the Community Giving Day event!

 

Organizers say they raised $250,000 last year and they are hoping to double that number this year.

 

The event begins at 11am and runs until 6pm.
