Giving Tuesday 2015
SSP is celebrating Giving Tuesday this year on December 1, 2015 to secure support for our mission: to promote the understanding and appreciation of science and the vital role it plays in human advancement. #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 by 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City. The international day of giving encourages philanthropy on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
