Five Reasons Every CEO Should Give Back on Giving Tuesday and Beyond

There is a spending frenzy that takes place every November, with people shopping for deals and collectively spending billions. Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there is Giving Tuesday on November 28, 2017, a day to help make up for all the consumerism that we take part in and to think about others who may be less fortunate. Many business leaders are actively getting involved in the event as a way to help others, and in return good things come to their own businesses, too.

“It’s important to give back to help others, and Giving Tuesday is a great day to get started doing it,” explains Alex Dastmalchi, chief executive officer of the Dastmalchi company. “It serves as a reminder to look beyond or ourselves and invest in the interest of those in our community. Every CEO should lead the way in participating in Giving Tuesday and in giving back all year long.”
