Upcoming Events and News

This year, STPS will be participating in Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.

Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Giving Tuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe. The annual celebration event will take place on November 28, 2023.

Giving Tuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.

We will be providing information on how you can participate in Giving Tuesday on our Sea Turtle Preservation Society Facebook page.
