🫶🏽Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday, marks the start of our annual fundraising campaign. This year, thanks to several generous sponsors, all donations up to $1200 will be matched, and their impact thus doubled! We hope that you yourself will find it in your heart and in your wallets/budgets to give to our chapter yourself (http://bit.ly/CSTA-Donate).

AND, just as important if not moreso, we hope you will share / promote our campaign on your own personal social media channels and/or other networks (colleagues, friends, family, etc.) Please find in this folder four possible ways to help advertise our fundraising efforts, which started Tuesday (12/2) and go through the end of CS Education Week (12/14). Two rectangular, two square, two PDF and two image files. The PDFs contain clickable links. The image files may be easier to share on social media, but since the links aren't clickable, please also include one or more links in the body of the post or caption (or in a comment).
