Here’s another interesting and very cause worthy campaign to benefit Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger
On September 14th (a one day social media event), Weight Watchers will donate $1 (up to a maximum of $60,000) to Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger. $1 will be donated for each approved mention, acknowledgement and/or action related to “Lose For Good”.
What is Lose For Good? For the third year in a row, Weight Watchers has teamed up with meetings members, weight Watchers Online subscribers and their charitable partners to help fight world hunger. As we ‘lose’ weight and participate in other activities (from September 5 to October 23, 2010) we can each help feed children and families in need. This year, there are more ways than ever to participate and help to reach Weight Watchers’ $1 million donation goal! ~read more
How and where do these ‘mentions’ count? This can happen with each blog post, twitter tweet, Facebook update and check-in via Foursquare. If you don’t have an account with any of the above listed sites- now’s your chance to start one…or, email your friends, forward this post and call your buddies to mention Lose For Good on their accounts!
