Local Charities Hoping Wallets Stay Open On Giving Tuesday

WASHINGTON (AP) — Charities and non-profits are happy to see that people spent loads of money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with hopes that those same wallets stay open on Giving Tuesday.

Online spending hit record levels throughout the Thanksgiving holiday, with Cyber Monday alone bringing in $7.9 billion, according to Adobe Analytics, which tracks the numbers.

Giving Tuesday started in 2012. Last year, the event raised more than $300 million for charities around the world in a single day.

In addition to the cash injection, charities are also accepting donations of time and other means of support.

Here are some local and statewide organizations hoping to get donations today:
