On June 14, hundreds of communities across America will compete to win $30,000 in awards for local nonprofits.
Twive and Receive is a 24-hour online giving competition that teams Twitter activists and locally supporting nonprofits to fundraise and benefit their hometown. Each city will be represented by one cause.
Communities fundraise using Twitter, other social networks, and electronic media. From today through June 13, they'll be activating their communities to support their preferred local nonprofit on June 14.
Twive and Receive will be held simultaneously across the United States for 24 hours on June 14, starting at 12:00AM Pacific Time (3:00AM Eastern Time)! The top three nonprofits that raise the most money* get a share of the $30,000 award pool.
Click here to visit the Twive and Receive homepage and remember to give on June 14. Help us show the country that Minnesota is the most generous state!
