Today is #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving. It’s the annual tradition of giving to your favorite charities or causes that you care about. After all your holiday shopping supporting your fellow small businesses on Small Business Saturday, local charities are hoping you have a few coins left to show them some love too. I have already sent my online donations to my favorite charities, so now it’s your turn, I’m giving back to you.

Today, is the kickoff of my SmallBizLady #12DaysofGiveaways contest. For the next 12 business days I’m giving you a chance to win over $35,000 in giveaway prizes. I reached out to my favorite brand partners to see if we can make the holidays bright for lucky business owners.  My giveaways have been provided by HP Print, Staples, Microsoft, Norton Small Business, YP.com, Nextiva, Schneider Electric, WeMontage, and I’m throwing in a few SmallBizLady products for good measure as well.

You all know my mission as @SmallBizLady is ending small business failure, and I am using this #GivingTuesday to focus the day on you, my amazing fans!
