March your calendar! This year’s Twestival is slated for March 25, 2010!
Last year’s Twestival raised more than $750,000 for Charity: Water and other nonprofits all over the world.
In 2010, organizers and volunteers are turning the focus to education and the 72 million children in the world who aren’t getting an education for one reason or another. Organizers have selected Concern Worldwide to be the recipient of this year’s fundraising efforts because of their comprehensive and well-respected approach to education. This is an issue that involves many different elements; hunger, water, teacher training, building of schools, etc. Locally, we hope to harness the power of the global event and use social media to give people insight into this cause as well as raise much-needed funds.
Austin plans to make this year’s Twestival even better than the last!
So how you can you get involved? Volunteer. Buy your ticket (link to come) for this year’s event. And save your pennies to contribute to Concern Worldwide during an auction of Austin’s biggest names in social media, business and more!
