Facebook and the New York Times Recognize Brad

November 13th, 2009 by Contributor

The New York Times wrote an article yesterday about Brad Sugars and how he helped Cancer Schmancer raise money through social media.

We’ve blogged about this before – Facebook Causes recognized Sugars as an All-Star Contributor for raising about $8,000 for Cancer Schmancer. And on Thursday, the New York Times recognized him as well, and applauded his use of social media to give to a good cause.

On his 38th birthday this year, Sugars installed a Causes application, and as a birthday gift to him, asked each of his $3,000 friends to make a donation of at least $38, which he would match. By matching each donation, Sugars managed to raise $7,690 for Cancer Schmancer.

Other social media sites have ways to give back, too. Twitter users can organize Twestivals, which are big get-togethers that act as fundraisers, and they can retweet links to Web pages to run fund-raising drives or to support various charities.

It’s an interesting article. Check it out here, or at www.nytimes.com.
