The What
Blogathon.org is a global blogging marathon where participants publish one post on their blog each half hour for 24 hours…that’s 48 posts in one day!
At the same time, they raise funds online for their favorite cause.
I’m hoping to get a group of bloggers together in the Guelph-area for Guelph Blogathon 2009 – {http://guelphblogathon.wordpress.com/} to raise some money for local charities.
The When
July 25 from 9 a.m. until 9 a.m. on July 26
How You Can Help
If you would like to help out let me know. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, we would need prizes for the highest donation/pledge, a prize for the blogger who raised the most in the 24 hours, swag bag items for participants, a coffee shop/restaurant that would be willing to host us for the length of the event.
Non-Profits
If you are a Guelph-based charity, that doesn’t have a blogger signed up on your behalf, you can have someone from your organization (a volunteer or an employee) participate.
I can help you set up a blog if you don’t have one.
Still don’t think you’re up for the challenge?
You can still participate! Feel free to stop by to make a pledge, leave comments on participating blogs, cheer us on, or bring some treats.
The Who
My name is Tracy Doerr and I am a Social Media Specialist. I also produce the blog doerrmedia.org
For this year’s Guelph Blogathon my theme is the ABC’s of Guelph. If you have something interesting you would like me to blog about please contact me, and I’ll see what I can do. If it doesn’t make into the Blogathon posts, I can always post it at a later date. Posts can be video, audio or the old fashion-way…written.
