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
ConcernWorldWide (@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.
