I recently led the efforts of #ParkaParty, an impromptu social media fundraiser that mobilized the community and sent more than $5,000 to 19 different non-profit orgs in Western Washington.
I’ve had many people ask how they might be able to do something similar in their community. I’m writing something up for Intersect, but in the meantime, you can read the local news coverage of the event:
