The Classy Awards are the country's most prominent
recognition of philanthropic/charitable organizations each year.
Reece's Rainbow has made the Top 25 Finalist list for Most Innovative
Use of Social Media, and we need your vote to WIN!
We are very excited to be nominated for this award in particular, because it is our use of social media formats that has totally transformed this ministry in
the last 2 years. The power of our newly designed website, family
blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and now our iPhone and Android phone apps have
truly catapulted RR into a position of even greater life-saving
influence. We harness social media in a focused effort to save money on
overhead so we are able to maximize all donations for the benefit of
the children and our committed families.
The
official description of this category is: "Awarded to the charity
whose submission demonstrates the most forward-thinking, creative, and
effective use of social media to spread the organization’s message or to
build financial or personal support. The nonprofit that wins this
Classy Award will be one that embraces new social media technology and
seeks to build upon that technology in order to further its
organizational goals." 500 children in 5 years is nothing to sneeze at, folks! MAKE THIS COUNT!
YOUR
VOTES will give RR the opportunity not only to WIN and raise media
visibility, but to give a more detailed speech/presentation at the
Awards Ceremony in San Diego in September. People Magazine was BIG, but
the Classy Awards are even more valuable to the future of this ministry!
This
will be HUGE media exposure for RR, right ahead of the Buddy Walks and
our Christmas Angel Tree, so we really need your help please! And if we
WIN, it will mean a $15,000 prize for our Voice of Hope fund!
