In case you were unaware, today is Giving Tuesday (or lovingly hashtagged, #GivingTuesday), the nonprofit sector's response to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday following our favorite turkey and casserole-laden holiday. On Giving Tuesday, the idea is that after all of the great deals and consumption for ourselves in the retail world, we give our time and money to help others.
This morning, our wonderful cubicle neighbor, Beth, and another great office mate, Eric, became local celebrities on local news source WCCB's Wilson's World segment. While not necessarily emergency preparedness related, this segment can give you a peek into what exactly Hands On Charlotte does throughout the year, and some of the extra things Tiara and I get to help out with during our time in the office. At the end of the day, it is all about giving back to the community, and especially on a day like #GivingTuesday, we are incredibly proud to be a part of Charlotte's nonprofit community.
Please enjoy video via the link below, and while we hope you enjoy hearing about all of the nonprofits featured on Wilson's World this morning, our favorite segment with Beth and Eric begins at 8:50.

Also, in case you've been noticing the trending #unselfie on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and everywhere in between, here's one from our corner of the universe, also featuring Beth and Sara! The idea of the #unselfie is to take a picture of yourself (a selfie, if you will), but doing something to help others. Since we try to do a little something every day to help the local community (and many days, a big something), we figured we would post one from the office. Keep an eye out; I have a feeling we will have some increasingly creative #unselfie posts coming your way soon!
And lastly, because Beth and I agree that KC & The Sunshine Band is one of life's greatest pleasures, here's the music video for this post's namesake. Enjoy, and if you feel like learning the choreography with us, we certainly won't mind.
Stay safe, Charlotte, and please let us know what you're doing to give it up for #GivingTuesday today!
