On March 24th, Twestival Local will happen in 200+ cities around the world to bring together Twitter communities for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for local charities. Twestival uses social media for social good by connecting communities offline on a single day to highlight a great cause and have a fun event.
Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date. Since 2009, volunteers have raised close to $1.2 million for 137 nonprofits. All local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.
This event, Twestival Local, supports charities that each city selects and approves through the Twestival global team. Twestial Phoenix Local will support Child Crisis Center. The Child Crisis Center works to prevent child abuse and neglect by supporting and strengthening families through education and intervention, by providing a safe environment for children to heal, and by recruiting, training and supporting foster and adoptive families.
By purchasing a ticket to Twestival Phoenix, you are making a donation to Child Crisis Center. Each ticket donation is treated the same. What you decide to contribute is completely up to you.
Our goal as a city is to raise $18,000.
Twestival Phoenix 2011 will take place at The Clayton on the Park (@TheClaytonAZ). We are super excited about this new venue and they have been wonderful to us!
In addition to entry into the event, we are offering raffle tickets which will be entered into a drawing for prizes that have been donated. You can purchase as many raffle tickets as you wish. You must be present to claim your raffle prize.
We will be providing all guests with a drink ticket and appetizers throughout the night. Additional food and drink are available for purchase.
100% of the proceeds from these ticket sales go to Child Crisis Center to help the kids.
