*Huh?
Modeled after the old school telethon a la Jerry Lewis, we’ll gather heavy hitters in tech and social media to use their well-connected networks for the benefit of raising money to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in japan. Participants will form relay teams to tweet, facebook, and otherwise rally their digital troops around the clock.
*Do I have to stay up for 24 hours?
Nope. Do what you can. We'll be live at Strongbox West from 5pm until 12am, and then the teams will carry on elsewhere.
*Do I have to lead a team?
No. We have teams that need members, so please sign up by emailing
susan.barry@hive-marketing.com.
*Can I lead a team if I want to?
Absolutely! The more the merrier. Email
susan.barry@hive-marketing.com.
*Why such short notice?
We want to take action before everyone forgets about the tragedy in Japan, so we're sacrificing our usual perfectionist tendencies to get something going with a quickness.
*Do you need sponsors?
Heck to the yes! We want to wine and dine our volunteers, so if you have food, drink, or prizes to donate, let us know. We'd also love some help with media contacts.
*Where will the money go?
All donations will be given to the American Red Cross for use in disaster relief efforts in Japan and elsewhere.
*Who put this together?
Vitrue, who is kicking in a $5,000 donation match (!!!) and Hive Marketing. We are also being helped by Barracuda Networks and Digital Atlanta.
*If you have other questions, ask away!
