The New York Urban League is proud to announce the launch of our 2022 #GivingTuesday campaign. #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving powered by social media, collaboration, and campaigning. #GivingTuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year we will celebrate #GivingTuesday on November 29th.
Our goal is to raise $35,000 in support of the New York Urban League’s Empowerment Days, which provide an opportunity for 200 NYC high school students to learn about careers and industries that they may not have ever imagined by visiting corporations around New York City and engaging with professionals who will share their stories of success and career trajectories. This year our Empowerment Day objectives include:
Recruiting 200 New York City high school juniors and seniors
Recruiting 15 Corporate Partners to host, interact with and provide job shadowing opportunities to students
Recruiting 25 volunteers
Creating business cards and professional totes for participants to take away
Incorporating project-based learning into the event to help participants build their professional portfolio
We would like to thank PayPal for providing a matching gift of $10,000 to help us jumpstart our #GivingTuesday campaign.

I'm so excited about Giving Tuesday! Slope Run I've participated in past events with the New York Urban League, and it’s always inspiring to see our community come together. Looking forward to making a difference again this year!
I really appreciate the New York Urban League's call to action for Giving Tuesday! It reminds me of how engaged my friends and I got while playing the Slope game—it’s all about navigating challenges together. Just like in community efforts, you need focus and teamwork to succeed! It’d be great to see even more people come together this November 29th, supporting local initiatives that uplift everyone. Looking forward to participating!

kart bros propels players through a succession of demanding races, with each level escalating in challenge for exploration and mastery. Each race, ranging from fundamental courses to intricate obstacles, necessitates a blend of driving strategy and rapid reflexes to get high scores.
A great strength of geometry dash game is its ability to design levels where precision outweighs haste. Players quickly realize that rushing leads to failure, while measured movements lead to success. This balance keeps the difficulty engaging and skill-focused.
