Giving Tuesday asks for donations to Stanwood-Camano projects

1. Giving Tuesday.

On Dec. 3, the Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation hopes to raise $65,000 to promote philanthropy in the community.

Its called Giving Tuesday, a 24-hour online event. Donors can review projects serving the Stanwood-Camano area and donate to as many as they like.

The minimum donation is $10. All of the proceeds will go to the chosen project(s). Donations will also make you eligible for various prizes throughout the day.

More at www.scgive.org.

2. Donating blood.

American Red Cross needs your blood.

In exchange, you’ll be treated to cookies and juice. Not a bad trade, right?

Marysville Public Library is hosting a blood drive from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 20, at the library, 6120 Grove St., Marysville. By donating, you can save up to three lives.

Schedule an appointment by entering “Marysville” under the “Find a drive” tab at www.redcrossblood.org, or by calling 800-733-2767.

3. Watching golf.

After years of dominance by the Seattle Seahawks — and clutch victories like the one they just pulled off on Monday Night Football — you’d think Washingtonians would love their football.

Guess again.

The Evergreen State’s most-watched sport is golf, according to data from DirecTV. Football still won in a landslide in most other states — 35 to be exact — but golf came in second with 13 states.

Kentucky, home to the most successful NCAA Division I basketball program in history, watches basketball more than any other state. Vermont and Connecticut are also mega fans of baseball.
