I pledge. Will you?


Charity:Water

http://nctwestival.com

On February 5th we decided to take the pledge and bring the Asheville Twitter Community together to pledge support for our very own Twestival. The iPledge project was born, then on February 7th we had people pledge $5 to Charity:Water to be in our video.

In one weeks time Asheville has organized a Twestival. Venue Sponsor Windows on the Park, Beer Sponsor Bruisin’ Ales, and Event Sponsors Applied Solutions Group and Nine Mile. We have also raised almost $1500 in cash for charity:water, $2500 in auction items …. please spread/share this video.

Video Production: Bourne Media and orbitingstudio.com

Please join our iPledge Project and take the pledge to bring clean water to the world.

In one week Asheville became one, for one cause, for one day. What will you do?

Please post your response and the city you are in, and please spread the word.

Help the 1 in 6 people in the world without access to clean, clear water have just that. Thursday. February 12th, 2009. You can be a part. Help.
