CELEBRATING GIVING TUESDAY
Supporting the People You Believe In
November is usually all about Thanksgiving, but it isn’t the only holiday that encourages generosity. Giving Tuesday is a phenomenal celebration in which millions of people from across the globe are inspired to spend 24 hours giving back to the communities they love. Origin and Goal Giving Tuesday is celebrated every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, and this year, the holiday lands on Dec. 3! It was established in 2012 by the United Nations Foundation and New York’s 92nd Street Y as a response to consumer-driven holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The purpose of the holiday was to spread the spirit of giving, not only for the people in our nation but individuals across the world. The goal is “to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day and
social media could be used to make generosity go viral; that people fundamentally want to give and talk about giving.” Through massive social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the individuals and companies participating in Giving Tuesday can spread their missions and messages all over the world, encouraging others to do the same. How You Can Celebrate Now is the perfect opportunity to support your community and the causes you believe in. The best part of this holiday is that “giving” doesn’t just refer to donating money. People can give back by volunteering their time to help a nonprofit business, donating goods and food, or just buying a stranger some lunch. Even the smallest actions can have the biggest impact. Here at Hegwood Law Group, we are giving back by donating 10% of our attorneys fees for estate planning to a non profit for clients that retain in the month of November. If you’re interested in participating in Giving Tuesday, get together with your friends, family, sports team members, or neighbors to brainstorm on how you can give back.

WORD SEARCH
Ingredients
• 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust (homemade or store bought), cooked and ready for filling • 3 cups whole milk • 1/2 cup cocoa powder • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar • 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp salt • 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tsp vanilla (or 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp chocolate extract)
directions
1. Prepare and cool pie crust (according to manufacturer’s instructions or home recipe). Set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, heat the milk in the microwave until hot. 3. In a medium sauce pan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add in the hot milk and whisk until smooth. 4. Over medium heat, cook and whisk mixture until it starts to boil. As soon as it starts to boil, start a timer for 3 minutes. Whisk for 3 minutes. 5. Remove from the heat and let cool for just a minute. Whisk in the butter and extract(s).
6. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, letting it touch and cover the top of the pie. (It will stick to the top of the pie and prevent it from forming a film). 7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours. (It will be 10,000 times better after 24 hours in the fridge.) 8. Top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if you’re feeling “fancy,” and serve.
