(Photo by Jim Moore)I thought it was high time for @ConnectColorado followers to know about some of the results you have accomplished for our great state as a result of interacting on Twitter. These are just things I know about! If you have others that came about because of something you saw on @ConnectColorado, please send me a DM and I will add it to this list!
- Your votes for Kids in Need of Dentistry (@KindSmiles)got them a grant for $20,000 to provide dental care for low-income children.
- Your donations and massive RT's for Colorado Gives Day #COGivesDay from @GivingFirst netted over $8 Million for Colorado charities.
- A twitter connection from @ConnectColorado helped the National Organization to End the Waiting Lists @NOEWAIT to find a documentary film maker.
- National Milddog Rescue @milddogrescue adopted out at least one former puppy mill dog.
- Local nonprofit consultant Janine Vanderburg @JVA_Consulting won a contest to provide training for baby boomers to help charities to raise money because of your votes and RT's.
- People affected by the #BoulderFire got information they needed because of your RT's -and probably direct help from some of you.
- Many of you have voted for my photo for charity, too! That contest ends at the end of the month and I need a LOT more "Likes!" Click here to vote!
Keep up the GREAT fun! Remember, I will RT anything that has to do with the good life in Colorado and especially charity. If you are part of a walk-a-thon or anything like that, let me know! Colorado charities who follow me know they can ask for a RT any time and I usually RT many of them anyway. I don't RT commercial stuff - but I will if it is connected to charity fundraising.
Thanks everyone!
