SAVE THE DATE

Entering its seventh year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Created by the team at the 92nd Street Y, #GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities, and organizations around the world for one common purpose:  to celebrate and encourage giving.  The VLP is delighted to join the #GivingTuesday movement to kick off the 2018 charitable giving season and to help #GrowVLP.
