Birthday Brainstorm!
I’m constantly trying to think of ways to get the twitter crowd (and then non-twitterers as well) involved with Spare Change, Please. Well, here’s my latest idea: Happy Birthday Wish Donations!
Know someone with a Birthday coming up, or perhaps your own birthday? How about turning that important event into something vastly more important? How? By simply donating $1, $10 or whatever feels like a good amount to Spare Change, Please? Your ‘Birthday Bucks Donation’ will make a considerable difference to some poor soul living on the streets. It will mean that the organizations that Spare Change has ‘vetted’ are getting your donation and will put it to good work against the Scourge of Homelessness.
So, spread some birthday joy back… give to the needy, won’t you?
Oh, and when you do, we will send a twitter notification out to all our members (and any that you ask to be notified, such as the @birthdayboy) that their Birthday has made life a little bit better for the downtrodden.
Pretty cool, huh?
Joel, CEO Spare Change, Please
p.s. to be honest I can’t claim the idea was totally mine
… the idea came from this article
