NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Havas Health
friends and colleagues have created a #GivingTuesday initiative
with an especially personal perspective—it honors Christophe
Foultier, a longtime Havas Health staffer who lost his life at the
Bataclan massacre on Friday, Nov.
13.
Christophe was a colleague and art director for many years at
Havas Health, and his colleagues and friends want to bring support
to the family—his wife and two children—from around the world to
honor his memory and help ensure a more financially settled future
for them. A website has been created at All4Chris.com as a central
destination, where the Havas community can go to share memories of
Christophe, to honor him and to donate for his family.
#GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, will
be Dec. 1 this year. It marks the
beginning of the holiday giving season and is a movement that aims
to bring together individuals, communities and organizations in the
spirit of giving; 30,000 partners around the world participated in
#GivingTuesday 2014.

About #GivingTuesday
Now in its fourth year,
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of
social media and collaboration. Observed on the Tuesday
following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized
shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks
off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and
end-of-year giving. Created in 2012 by 92nd Street Y—a
cultural center in New York City that, since 1874, has
been bringing people together around the values of service and
giving back—#GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals,
communities and organizations around the world for one common
purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of influencers
and founding partners joined forces—collaborating across sectors,
offering expertise and working tirelessly—to launch #GivingTuesday,
and it has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving
and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing
catalog of resources.
