NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The following information was released by the United Nations Foundation:

The third annual #GivingTuesday will be celebrated on December 2, two weeks from today, and celebrities and partners are rallying behind the growing movement of social giving. Supporters include actors/activists Edward Norton and Hugh Jackman, actor-mompreneur Jessica Alba, fashion mogul Kenneth Cole and Golden State Warriors' basketball star Stephen Curry, each of whom offered comments on their participation in this global celebration of giving back:

Jessica Alba's The Honest Company will be fundraising for FoodCorps in support of healthier foods in elementary schools nationwide. "Part of creating a safer, healthier future for our children includes fostering a lasting, healthy relationship with food," said Alba. "With so many of our holiday traditions centering on food and cooking, it felt like a perfect time to make a commitment to nutrition education with FoodCorps. We hope everyone will join us in sharing fun, healthy recipes that can not only improve their family's health but also improve the lives of thousands of kids nationwide."

"For more than 30 years our brand has addressed not only what our customers look like on the outside, but who they are on the inside," said Kenneth Cole, "and not just what they stand in but what they stand for. This year for #GivingTuesday we are asking fans to take action to end homelessness as a reminder this holiday season that there are too many people who would love to be in your shoes." On #GivingTuesday, Kenneth Cole is asking people to read and sign the petition asking the federal government to continue funding the HUD-VA Supportive Housing program, as part of the company's larger Look Good, for Good program, which supports projects of the St. Luke Foundation for Haiti, HELP USA and the Sundance Institute.

Hugh Jackman , whose Laughing Man Worldwide donates 100 percent of its profits to Projects for All, said, "The holidays are, first and foremost, about goodwill and compassion. That's why #GivingTuesday is a great way to not just remember that but live it as well."

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, who leads a season-long Three for Three Challenge to support the UN Foundation's Nothing but Nets campaign, plans to Gift a Net in honor of each of his teammates, sending lifesaving nets to families in sub-Saharan Africa. "#GivingTuesday reminds us that we can all have an impact on the world," said Curry. …
