By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Seguin) -- Let the season of giving begin today. Today is "Giving Tuesday," a global day of giving to charities and nonprofits in a community. Held annually the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, this year's global celebration runs for 24 hours and ends at midnight. Giving Tuesday is described as "a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages peo-

ple to do good. Today and now seven years later, that idea has grown into a global movement -inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. In Seguin alone, several organizations will be looking for your monetary donations. They include the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF); Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation; Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity; Lifegate Christian School; Society for Animal Rescue and Adoption, Lifegate Christian Society and Texas Lutheran University.
