What is Tweetsgiving?
Tweetsgiving is a Twitter celebration of gratitude and giving created by Epic Change, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The project aims to demonstrate the power of the social web by raising $10,000 in 48 hours to build a classroom in Tanzania.
TweetsGiving will be held from Tuesday, 11.25.08 (12pm EST) to Thursday, 11.27.08 (12pm EST).
How do I participate?
1. TWEET THANKS: Share something you’re thankful for with all your twitter followers. Your tweets can be touching or silly, poignant or fun. Just tweet from the heart and be sure to include the #TweetsGiving tag and a link to http://tinyurl.com/4thanks.
2. GIVE: Make a donation in honor of whatever -
or whomever - you’re grateful for.
- Every $10 buys a brick to build a classroom in Tanzania. (1,000 bricks = new classroom!) Email your TweetsGiving tweet to tweetsgiving@gmail.com, and it will be painted on your brick!
- For $100 or more, you’ll be named one of our “Top Turkeys” and we’ll list your gift on our site.
- Or, with the holiday season approaching, you may buy unique gifts at http://shop.EpicChange.org. With each purchase, you’ll add one or more bricks to a new classroom at the school.
3. SPREAD THE GRATITUDE: Follow @TweetsGiving to fill your twitter stream with gratitude, then blog, retweet, or even change your avatar to the TweetsGiving Turkey.
4. STAY TUNED: Subscribe to the Epic Change blog and follow TweetsGiving and Epic Change founder @StaceyMonk to follow the story once the holiday has passed.
