RV Industry Makes A Big Impact On Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday, which takes place every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Individuals, nonprofits, small businesses, foundations, and more spend the day giving back to charitable organizations in their communities and the greater public.
