What is Giving Tuesday?
After Thanksgiving, #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday each year, we celebrate #GivingTuesday. This special day helps demonstrate that holidays can be about both giving and giving back.
This year, Citizens Bank will once again be matching gifts on Giving Tuesday. For every dollar donated to the ASYR on December 2nd, Citizens Bank will match your contributions up to $5,000!
Here are some ways YOU can help the ASYR receive the entire $5,000 matching gift from Citizens Bank on Giving Tuesday:
- Make an online donation by clicking here.
- Drop your donation by any Citizens Bank location. We’ll be celebrating Giving Tuesday with Citizens Bank and White River Now at Citizens Bank Headquarters, located at 655 South Saint Louis Street in Batesville from 9am-5pm Tuesday, December 2nd. Join us for a hotdog at lunchtime, or drop your gift by any convenient Citizens Bank location.
- Help us get the word out about Citizens Bank’s $5,000 matching gift! Share this page with a friend by email, text, or social media, and ask them to join you in supporting the Ranch on Giving Tuesday.

Since 1976, the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches have provided hope and healing for children who, through no fault of their own, need a place to call home. Your gift to the ASYR on Giving Tuesday supports our mission of providing homes for some of Arkansas’s most vulnerable children. To learn more about how you can support the ASYR, contact Matthew Cleveland at 501-940-3440 or email matt@youthranches.com.
As a 501c3 charitable organization that is 100% privately funded, and a 100% free service to children in crisis, Giving Tuesday is such an important day for us at the ASYR. Please join us December 2nd for Giving Tuesday, and consider making the Ranch part of your year-end giving plans.
