The San Francisco Chronicle’s technology blog, The Tech Chronicles, describes the recent trend in charity fundraisers fueled by social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The Chronicle discussed the growing trend of social media for community causes and recognized LeapFish’s recent Tweet-a-Cause campaign that empowered Twitter users with the ability to Tweet a little boys wish to go to Disneyland true.
The article covered the partnership between The Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation and LeapFish that raised $10,000 to send a 4-year-old ill boy to Disneyland.
Excerpt from the Article:
Regarding the use of Social Media to promote Charities, ” It only takes a couple of moments a day to change the world…LeapFish, a Pleasanton search engine, has pledged to donate $10,000 if 100,000 Twitter messages are generated.”
