CARROLLTON, Texas, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Jay Wireless, a Dallas-based technology provider, is pleased to announce the launch of a new social media campaign called Give a Day Challenge (#giveaday) to promote volunteerism by more than 28 million small businesses nationwide.

The #giveaday Challenge: Blue Jay Wireless is challenging the more than 28 million small businesses in the U.S. to donate one day each month to volunteering in their respective communities. That adds up to over 2 billion hours of time donated. Imagine all the good that can be done using that time to volunteer for a good cause. Blue Jay and their #giveaday program has been making a difference in the community for about a year now and is now challenging other businesses to do the same.

Blue Jay Wireless currently participates in what they call the Give a Day program, where every Blue Jay employee donates one work day a month to volunteer in their communities. Blue Jay wants to extend the challenge to other small businesses to make that same commitment and to make an impact in their respective communities.

Blue Jay's video announcement for the Give a Day Challenge demonstrates all the good that can be done in the world and the lives that can be changed with such a movement. For example, If each of the 28 million+ small businesses in the United States donated one work day a month to volunteering, over 2 billion hours a year of volunteer time would be generated for impacting animal shelters, food banks, blood donation drives, community clean-up projects, and more worthy causes. Viewers can visit www.giveadaychallenge.com to learn more and share their Give a Day experiences using the hashtag #giveaday.

"We believe time is our most valuable resource," said Blue Jay Wireless CEO, David Wareikis. "And giving our time away in service is the best way to make a positive impact on society. Everyone has unique talents they can provide while volunteering. Those talents are a big part of what makes a difference in the community."
