Let the #Unselfie 2021 season begin

GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. After the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and nonprofits. Whether it’s making a donation, volunteering time, helping a neighbour or spreading the word, GivingTuesday is a movement for everyone who wants to give something back. #GivingTuesdayCA is the Canadian version of #GivingTuesday.

How is hEr VOLUTION engaging you on #GivingTuesday this year?

For 4 weeks before GivingTuesday, starting on November 1, 2021, we encourage our supporters to help raise funds, but mostly raise awareness about the cause they care about, in this case, hEr VOLUTION. Here is how it works:

  • Step 1: Download & Print the #Unselfie poster
  • Step 2: Write down why you support hEr VOLUTION
  • Step 3: Take a picture holding the poster (hint: get a friend to take a picture of you holding the poster)
  • Step 4: Post the picture on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) telling the world why you support hEr VOLUTION using the #Unselfie & #GivingTuesdayCA hashtags and tag us at @her_volution
  • Step 5: Tell your friends about this campaign and ask them to support your cause with you!

That’s it! We can’t wait to see your social media activity!
