Danny Brown, Epic Change: "Tweetsgiving" - 12for12k Challenge - Spread Gratitude Across the Web
The 12for12k Challenge is the combination of social media awareness and fund-raising that aims to change the lives of millions worldwide. Founded by business consultant Danny Brown, its aim is to raise awareness and funds for 12 charities over the course of 2009, with a new charity being supported every month. The concept is simple:
12 months of the year
12 charities, a different charity each month
$12,000 per charity
"Tweetsgiving"
Spread Gratitude Across the Web
While TweetsGiving won’t begin until November 24th, you can get involved NOW in our online groundswell of gratitude that will blanket the web with images, videos, songs and stories of everything that we’re grateful for. Just take these three easy steps (four for extra credit!) to get involved now:

In the community we’ll collaborate & conspire in advance of TweetsGiving to get ready for the big celebration. Of course, you can participate without joining the community too by sharing your gratitude with the #tweetsgiving tag anywhere you’d like on the web November 24 – 26…

STEP #3: Give in Honor of Your Gratitude*
*Optional, of course, but giving feels good. Besides, what would TweetsGIVING be without the giving? We’re hoping you’ll make a gift to TweetsGiving in honor of whatever you’re grateful for. All proceeds from TweetsGiving will go towards building an additional classroom, orphanage/boarding facility, cafeteria and library at Epic Change’s partner school in Tanzania, and to finding and funding future Epic Fellows like the school’s founder, Mama Lucy.
Contribute now by selecting the amount you want to donate from the drop-down menu in the widget below and then clicking on the orange “GIVE” button (link on 12for12k Blog).
EXTRA CREDIT: Find 10 Friends
Gratitude is far better when it’s shared among friends. If you’re willing to find 10 friends to join our thankful tribe by 11/26/09, you’re invited to join our exclusive Wild Turkeys team where the tribe will strategize about how to grow our groundswell of gratitude to include people across the globe.
