YUMMommy is currently working with the following organizations in effort to give back to those in need. Please take a moment to read up on how YUMMommy is assisting these organizations. If you would like assist me in any of the projects listed below or have me assist you in any of your charity events please email me: yummommy@gmail.com.
March For Charity is an online event started by YUMMommy to help raise awareness and funds for different charities and nonprofits. From March 1st to March 31st, YUMMommy will highlight one charity or nonprofit everyday. Each post will include information on what that particular organization does, how and why they got started and ways the public can offer support.
The first week of April will be dedicated to allowing readers to have the opportunity to vote on which organization they would like all funds raised to be donated to. A poll with the names of all the highlighted charities will be placed in the left sidebar. The winning charity will be notified and contacted for an official statement. Also, I will work with the PR manager of that organization to coordinate press releases to be released to local newspapers in both the organization’s location and here in Charlotte where I reside.
On the first Friday of April, a March For Charity Twitter Party will be held to further spread the word about some of these wonderful organizations as well as to discuss the importance of giving back to your community. Prizes will be given away during this event.
To raise funds for March For Charity, I will be asking several companies to donate products, services and/or gift certificates to be raffled off for $1 donation by Twitter party participants. While a donation is not required for participants to take part in the Twitter party conversation in order to win a prize they must have donated a minimum of $1. The more money donated the more entries participants will have into winning prizes.
The date for this year’s March For Charity Twitter Party information is listed below:
