Over 300 Global leaders from over 75 countries drive the movement raising millions and seeing amazing acts of kindness and generosity. There is no cost to participate, this is truly the power of good coming together globally on one day/month of the year with the pure motivation to help others. As a result charities all over the world benefit. In 2020, on December 1st, over 2.4 billion USD were raised in 24 hours in the US alone!
