Guest post by Yvette Roeder. Thanks, Yvette, for helping!

There is a great event happening in metro Phoenix that I think every PR/Communications/Marketing professional should be involved with –Twestival Phoenix 2010.

Why?

  • because there will be tequila and vodka
  • there will be people you MUST know (and in this economy, it’s not WHAT you know, it’s WHO you know)
  • because you want our Twitter community to thrive and be more involved

But most importantly, you’re giving to a worthy cause.

I know, I know. We are all tightening up our grip on our cash, and for someone to ask if you can donate to a cause or attend a benefit might just make you roll your eyes. But hear me out…believe in karma, and always consider yourself lucky because there is always someone gripping on NOTHING right now.

So here’s my plea…ready?

Do what you do best and spread the word to your colleagues about Twestival. Re-tweet, re-tweet, retweet! Tell your respective companies to donate whatever they can and keep the spirit of giving in our little PR/Marketing/Communications community alive. Buy your tickets now and invite your gaggle of friends to come. Enjoy the drinks, the food and the company, and purchase those raffle tickets ($3 per ticket…so cheap!!!) for a chance to win some bad-ass prices.

Twestival is guaranteed good time, and it’s a great way to build relationships. Believe me…handing out your business card and then walking away is so 1990s. Nowadays, it should go beyond the biz card and be about building relationships with your fellow professionals. Twestival Phoenix 2010 is the perfect way to start.

So do me a favor, check out the blog here to learn about the causes and the event itself, scare up some donations, spread the word and go to this link http://bit.ly/tphx10tix to purchase tickets.

And did I mention there’s tequila? Yeah…GO!

Concern Focus: Building Schools

Posted on: 9 March 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 2025 - Comment

Globally, there are 72 million children - majority of them girls - who are not enrolled in school.

Millions more must learn in overcrowded, unhealthy, unsafe environments. Often, children must attend ‘outdoor’ schools, where they are vulnerable to extremes of weather and classes are irregular at best. Concern works closely with communities and local government to build and renovate schools and classrooms for the poorest, most vulnerable children.

Average cost of building/renovating one school: $14,500.

Want to give a big shout out to Cruz Tequila (@cruztequila) and Todd Ellinwood! In zero time, they’ve been amazing about stepping up, donating product, helping us secure the venue and spreading the word to other colleagues - so we have more drink options.

 

 

And… we also need to give a big shout out to Blair Hatfield (@blairhatz) and Splinter Creative (@splintrcreative).

Splinter Creative has been instrumental in helping Twestival Phoenix occur since the first event and we’re so glad to have them back involved.

As always they are wonderful about volunteering to help with design work, signs/banners, sourcing donations, donating themself and all kinds of other stuff! We are so glad to have them as a Twestival partner!

 

 

 

Concern Focus: Water for Schools

Posted on: 8 March 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 1455 - Comment

Children in many parts of the world are forced to spend hours daily fetching water, and often do not attend school as a result.

Illnesses and diseases caused by poor sanitation and unsafe drinking water are among the top five killers of children under five in the world’s poorest countries. Lack of access to safe, clean water in schools in these areas is a huge problem. Concern build wells, pumps, taps and other sources of safe water for the poorest schools, as well as latrines, and handwashing facilities, to help prevent unnecessary illness and death among children.

Average cost of providing clean water for schools: $700 for a well or $2,000 for a borehole.
