Celebrating Giving Tuesday 2022- Over $13,000 donated!
‘Tis the season for drinking hot chocolate, building snowmen, and… giving!
To celebrate Giving Tuesday 2022, we thought we’d continue our time-honored tradition of giving back. Last year with the help of our incredible S&G community — that’s you! — we donated over $28,000 to your favorite charities. And we were back at it again this year.
Between Black Friday and Giving Tuesday, we took up to 40% off some of your familiar favorites like our eucalyptus lyocell sheets and eucalyptus mattress. But why stop at discounts?
Our Giving Tuesday promotion
The real star of our holiday sales was the option we gave customers to donate a percentage of their order value to one of their favorite charities.
It went something like this:
Step 1: You purchase some S&G products (for yourself or a friend — nothing wrong with some gift-giving to yourself once in a while, too. Just remember to act surprised!)
Step 2: You pick a charity you love from a list of hundreds of major charities.
Step 3: S&G donates a portion of the value of your order to your chosen charity.
Step 4: (Optional) You do a little happy dance knowing you’re getting S&G products AND putting some good out into the world!
It was so easy, even a dog could do it — blindfolded!
So we planned to run this promotion until Giving Tuesday, but when the end of the day on Tuesday rolled around, we still had a lot of giving spirit left over. The only thing left to do was to extend the promotion one more day and go out with a bang!
Go big or go home, right?
Donation totals
Thanks to that late push, we donated $13,480.51 to more than 250 different charities — an average of $11 donated per order.
