Tweetsgiving: Events For Social Good and Gratitude (in YOUR city?)
Have you wanted to get involved with a social movement to help causes using both social media AND offline networking?
If so – there’s a global event coming up that needs your help!
TweetsGiving is a global celebration that seeks to change the world through the power of gratitude.
Scheduled for November 24 – 26, 2009, the 48-hour event created by 501c3 US nonprofit Epic Change will encourage participants to express their thanks using online tools and at live events. In honor of the people and things that make them grateful, guests will be invited to give to a common cause at events held across the globe.
In 2008 Tweetsgiving raised over $10,000 to build a classroom in Arusha, Tanzania. Imagined and built entirely by volunteers in six days, TweetsGiving was launched 2 days before the US Thanksgiving holiday, and quickly became the #1 trending topic on Twitter!
TWEETSGIVING 2009 – AND YOU!
Now Epic Change is looking for both city organizers and volunteers across the globe to help out with events in your city.
As on organizer you have the freedom to design your event in a way that makes the most sense for your community; Epic Change just asks that you include a way for attendees to show gratitude. Epic change will support you as an organizer and/or volunteer with helpful ideas and strategies for running your event and answering any questions you might have.

WHAT CAUSE WILL BENEFIT FROM TWEETSGIVING 2009?
Proceeds will again, in part, benefit the school in Tanzania, where a dormitory/orphanage, library, school cafeteria and additional classrooms are much needed. In addition, TweetsGiving 2009 seeks to fund new Epic Change partners and fellows in other parts of the world.
This is a great opportunity to give back and create gratitude in your community.
Going into this Thanksgiving season, what are you grateful for?
What would you like to get involved with to create change this year?
Looking forward to talking!
