Are you ready for the biggest grassroots social media
fundraising event on the planet?
Join us at Ray's Boat House on March 24 for an
unforgettable evening at Twestival 2011! Kick
back with apps, drinks, and some of Seattle's most
talented social media minds while supporting FareStart,
a local nonprofit organization that changes lives
through culinary training and job placement for Seattle's homeless and
disadvantaged individuals.
The best part? FareStart will receive 100% of
all ticket donations. That means we need
your help to go above and beyond the wow-worthy
fundraising mark we hit last year for Concern Worldwide:
$10,300. Let's show the world how Seattle can rally to make a
difference in the lives of those in need.
Ever heard of Social Media Bingo? We’ll have that, too,
and a big raffle for all! And to our special gold level
donors: we’ll even feature your Twitter avatars in the game
for all Twestival goers to see.
Grab your friends or come solo – just don't forget to
tweet about the crazy good times you’ll be having at #TwestivalSea.
