For those of you not in the U.S. #GivingTuesday is a response to "holidays" like "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday," that are focus on sales to get people to buy stuff for the Holidays. #GivingTuesday is more about the other (and more important) aspect of the holidays- generosity.
I really enjoyed seeing all the social media posts and hearing about the causes and charities that are important to our favorite skaters.
Here are a few posts:

It's #givingtuesday!!! I give because no child should have to deal with cancer. With the help of my fellow athletes, we have raised over $20,000 for Children's Oncology Services Inc. Glad to spend #givingtuesday volunteering with these two awesome people. @jasonbskates @tyler___pierce #unselfie #COSI #OneSkateataTime
(For the last several years Jordan has organized an ice show in the Chicago area to raise money for cancer.)
Maia Shibutani gave a shoutout to Right to Play. Her and Alex are athlete ambassadors for the organization, which aims to use play and sports to build healthy communities around the world.

It's #GivingTuesday! @righttoplayusa's 2014 #GiftOfPlay Campaign shines a spotlight on the transformative power of play. When children play, the world wins! @alexshibutani and I are so proud to be Athlete Ambassadors for this organization. Any amount of support can help Right To Play bring Education, Confidence, Leadership, Courage, Respect, Peace, Hope, and Health to children in some of the most disadvantaged communities around the world. *Link to donate is in my bio*
