Gobble, Gobble – Tweet, Tweet
When you search “social media + Thanksgiving” in Google, a lot of things appear – trending topics, a forum for turkey lovers and Thanksgiving mobile apps, to name a few. Then I stumbled upon an interesting website – spreading thanks with a social media twist.
Epic Change, is an organization that shares and promotes ways to raise visibility and funds for those in need with the help of social media and mediated collaboration. Last year, Stacey Monk, founder of Epic Change, was listed as one of the top ten entrepreneurs to follow on Twitter.
Since 2008, Epic Change has been widely known for its Tweetsgiving project:
How does it work? Follow @epicthanks on Twitter and tweet about what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving. Remember to add the #tweetsgiving hashtag at the end of your post – through Nov. 27.
In past years, Epic Change raised $11,000 for charity in just 48 hours. If you’re on Twitter, help raise the stat this year – even if you are just thankful for grandma’s homemade stuffing.
Don’t have a Twitter account? There are lots of other ways to show your thanks this Thanksgiving “in real life,” including canned food drives, volunteering, Turkey trots, walks and runs.
Happy Tweetsgiving!
