Social Media for Social Good

Block out March 7th on your calendar.

And not because I want you to go anywhere or do anything.

In fact — I want you to stay home.

Imagine it right now:

• No need to dress up. PJs are PERFECT.
• No need to spend hours trying to think of something to do with your friends/spouse/recent Craigslist “friend”
• No need to put on heels or iron a shirt or GROOM IN ANY WAY
• No need to get a sitter
• No need to leave your dog/cat/bird/fish at home
• No need to get crazy reservations and STILL wait in line for an hour because they’re backed up
• No need to stand at the bar and pretend you’re waiting for someone
• No need to pick something off the menu that fits your diet/allergies/political sensitivities
• No need to pay for watered down drinks in awkward to hold glasses
• No need to pay for a cab
• No need to regret spending $30 on the WORST MOVIE EVER

… and by doing absolutely nothing, you can actually HELP SOMEONE ELSE.

The idea is that Social Media can do some good things for Social Change. Contribute the money you’d normally spend on a Saturday out to Social Media For Social Change’s City Harvest Initiative (event coming up April 3rd!)   Seriously, people. In this economy, who wants to go out anyways? I don’t. I have enough entertainment here at home. So, why not spend the few bucks you might spend going out on the 7th on something that can actually help others???

It doesn’t matter if it’s a buck, $4 bucks or whatever you’d normally spend. This is important. 

Odds are, if you have internet access to take part, you’re doing at least a little better than the families that City Harvest supports — and even if you only have only  a little to give, every single penny is appreciated.
