Twestival Phoenix is coming up this week! Unfortunately, I’m going to be out of town. I’m donating anyway.
I don’t think I need to describe it because the description below is pretty thorough.
Phoenix tweeps, come have a blast and help support those in need on 3/25 at Martini Ranch in Scottsdale.
We will have food, drinks (drink tickets), a raffle, silent auction and good company.
Twestival is a 100% volunteer run, globally held event brought together by the twitter community to raise money for charity.
In February 2009, 202 cities around the world participated in Twestival raising over $250,000 for charity: water, enabling the drilling of 55 wells with more than 17,000 people served in Uganda, Ethiopia and India. Phoenix raised $4,700+ and came in 7th out of 202 cities!
In September 2009, Phoenix chose St. Mary’s Food Bank as their charity and raised $9,332 to help feed the hungry in our community. Those funds allowed St. Mary’s Food Bank to distribute enough food into the community to provide over 65,000 meals.
Twestival’s 2010 goal is to help Concern WorldWide (@concern) in their efforts to reduce suffering and end extreme poverty. For 42 years, Concern has been tackling the root causes of extreme poverty through focus on education, health (HIV and AIDS), livelihoods and emergency response. Concern has more than 3,600 employees working in 28 of the world’s poorest countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
Concern is also actively focused on the emergency in Haiti.
