Dawson has participated in this activity in the past with great success. This year, we are launching a program for giving that not only helps various members of our community and supports community-building projects, but one that also touches our hearts.
On Tuesday, Nov. 23, we will begin a one-week countdown to Giving Tuesday on our social media channels:
