Yes! Finally- here is an unmissable opportunity for all you avid Tweeters/FBers/bloggers out there to flex your fingers for an excellent cause AND get to know me a little more as well (which has got to be pretty exciting, right?)
As you know, here at The Tiny Soprano I am all about achieving massive results from little bursts of magnificence.
Whether it is a random act of kindness, a positive word or a moment of reflection where you suddenly understand just how powerful you really are…all it takes is one tiny step of gratitude to experience the giant leap towards being the best possible version of you.
Now is your chance to get grateful in a BIG way…
Introducing TweetsGiving 2009!
This year Thanksgiving in America falls on the 26th November, and as part of the celebrations Epic Change are celebrating Tweetsgiving 2009, a fantastic 48 hour opportunity to celebrate gratitude and giving in as many ways as possible.
Last year in 2008, with just 6 days in the planning and 2 in the launch, the very first Tweetsgiving raised over $10,000 to build a classroom in Arusha, Tanzania – The Classroom Built From Gratitude. It quickly became the #1 trending topic on Twitter as thousands of grateful tweets from across the globe filled the stream, and hundreds of blogs, from Mashable to VentureBeat, spread the story.
This year, between 24th and 26th November, you are invited to join in and unleash the gratitude online via your blog, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace – wherever you like! You can even go “real world” and host a gratitude party at your place, or join up with one already taking place in your city.
If you want to expand what is possible for you personally, then why not use this event as a gratitude “launch pad”? Getting grateful is such a powerful place to start, so why not expand what is possible for others at the same time?
Now comes the best part…
I am looking for 20 Tiny Tribesters to come on this journey with me!
I figure it would be really cool to use this event as an opportunity to get to know some awesome and creatively like-minded people out there on the interweb at the same time as doing something fantabulous for charity. Having fun, meeting inspirational people and making a difference at the same time is pretty much my manifesto!
Does this sound like you?
We could easily set ourselves a small but very achievable target:
- If 21 of us each pledged $10 = $210
- We then reach out to 10 people each (easy!) – and these 10 people pledge just $10 to the campaign = $2100
- Total raised = $2310.
See? Tiny and simple, but magnificent all the same.
YES! YES! YES! Count me in BatGirl! What do I have to do?
- Send me a Tweet NOW (@thetinysoprano) using the hashtag #TinyTG (so I know you’ve read this).
- Pledge your own $10. It takes seconds and really this is the whole point, right? Put your dosh where your beak is!
#Tweetsgiving will all be a huge fun sharing of grateful stuff and I can’t wait to help make a difference for these children.
We have less than 2 weeks left! Do you think gratitude can make a difference? Why not ditch the disguise and show the world what a social media superhero you truly are?
