BECHTLER EVENTS
One day. Three Ways. Endless Impact. Tuesday, December 2 12 PM - 2 PM GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea, a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 13 years, it has grown into a global movement inspiring millions to give, volunteer, and spread kindness. This year, on Tuesday, December 2, the Bechtler invites you to join this movement and make an impact in one (or more!) of three ways:
