QUEENS, N.Y. - In celebration of the start of the holiday season and in keeping with St. John's University's Vincentian tradition, St. John's Athletics is proud to participate in Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. All are welcome to join members of the Red Storm community on Tuesday, Dec. 2 in making a gift to St. John's Athletics to support the University's 350-plus current student-athletes.
Giving Tuesday is celebrated every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Started in 2012 as a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday is a nationwide commitment to creating a national day of generosity and charity to kick off the giving season. St. John's is committed to spreading awareness for Giving Tuesday to as many of its supporters, fans, alumni, friends and community members as possible, with a goal of 500 donors between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday.
A donation table will be set up in the lobby of Carnesecca Arena prior to Tuesday's Red Storm men's basketball game against visiting Niagara at 7 p.m.
