One Nonprofit Organization Can Win a $25,000 Social Media Makeover
More than 1,500 charities have been nominated to date, from large, established national charities including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), to niche support organizations like Atlanta-based AMPUCAMP.org, to military charities with large networks of support including Soldiers' Angels, Operation Quiet Comfort, For The Troops & eMail Our Military. Organizations are enthusiastic about the campaign. “Social media is revolutionizing the way Americans communicate. We are convinced that it can enable us to do a better job of reaching and mobilizing our diverse constituencies – law enforcement, child welfare workers, educators and parents – to keep children safe.,” said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of NCMEC. Commented Patti Patton-Bader, founder & CEO of Soldiers' Angels, “our close contact with the Milblog community (military-focused blogs) has been a great asset -- when popular milblogs posted about it, the votes came rushing in. It’s been encouraging to see concrete proof of the effectiveness of our social media efforts, but it’s also helped us see that we’ve barely scratched the surface of potential in this arena.”
