Twestival Phoenix Local 09 Recap
Posted on: 24 September 2009 at 1326 - Comment
We have $$ in now and are happy to report that Twestival Phoenix Local raised $9,332 for St. Mary’s Food Bank.
This was almost double the $4,700 we raised at the first Twestival Phoenix event and well above our $7,000 goal.
St. Mary’s Food Bank tells us that because of the money raised at Twestival Phoenix, they will now be able to distribute enough food into the community to provide over 65,000 meals.
They also let us know that:
- @StMarysFoodBank went from 83 followers before the event to 283 by the end of the night Friday
- They were the topic of countless tweets and many media hits they wouldn’t have otherwise received
- They doubled the average number of hits for a Friday on their www.firstfoodbank.org website
Of course this event wouldn’t have been possible without a ton of folks.
HUGE thanks to…
