Posts RSSCommunity keeps lighting virtual candles for Anissa Mayhew
Thursday, November 19th, 2009Have you ever seen the movie “Pay it Forward?” Remember that scene at the end when Haley Joel Osmett’s character has just died and Kevin Spacey is consoling Helen Hunt at her house. Then all of a sudden they hear something, walk outside and see blocks and blocks of people holding a candle-light vigil to […]
Ease and accessibility of Facebook Causes making birthday wishes come true
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009The first time I ever got to see Shel Holtz present on social media in the fall of 2007 at Sprint, he showed a slide that said: “It’s not just for nerds in pajamas.” Fast forward and it seems like there’s a new story almost daily in the mainstream media detailing how people are using […]
Aflac Duck leads online and offline communities in fight against pediatric cancer
Sunday, November 15th, 2009Let’s talk famous ducks. There’s Daffy, Donald, rubber ducky, Howard the Duck, the ugly duckling and the ducks who walk at the Peabody Hotel, to name a few. But the duck that is really making a name for itself, especially where causes are concerned, is the Aflac Duck. Follow him on Facebook and […]
Bloggers “chip in” more than $4,000 in a day to #getwellliz fund
Friday, November 13th, 2009Big causes are important. Komen Foundation, American Heart Association, Salvation Army, #movember, #stopdiabetes. But it’s the smaller, more personal causes that still surprise me a little and bring awareness to the generosity that’s on display in the social media world.
Take Liz Strauss (@lizstrauss). I’ve never met Liz, but she’s a blogger whose reputation precedes her. […]
Fan TackleHungerKC on Facebook and $2 goes to fight hunger
Thursday, November 12th, 2009 Click the FB icon, fan TackleHungerKC, donate $2.
I like to think of myself as fairly tech savvy. Except when it comes to tunes in my car. You probably listen to an iPod right? I don’t even listen to songs on the radio. Nope, it’s old school sports talk radio for me. It’s probably […]

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009What are your feelings on mustaches? Facial hair in general? And what do these questions have to do with a blog about causes, right? Well, I give you #movember.

Doing’ good in the neighborhood and a lesson about perception
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009Perception is a powerful thing. It’s one of the points I try to get across to clients on a daily basis. What people are saying about your brand right now is how you’re being perceived. And these days your brand reputation is evolving in real time. I just saw it happen.
I was struggling to decide […]

Monday, November 9th, 2009“I’m going to heaven,” Noah responds. “I’m going to be an angel.”

Your story can help #stopdiabetes
Sunday, November 8th, 2009You might think what’s been most amazing about blogging 30 causes in 30 days are the stories behind each cause I covered. That’s what I thought going into this endeavor. But what’s been as amazing has been how easy it’s been to find a new cause to write about each day. Less than five minutes […]
It’s 11-11, make a wish…come true
Friday, November 6th, 2009Do you remember the first time you heard one of your friends say “It’s 11:11, make a wish?” You’re either smiling and nodding or thinking I’m smoking something.
