Virtual philanthropy project for June 30, 2009
This week, we honor the legacy of Farrah Fawcett, pop culture icon and domestic violence awareness champion. Her made-for-TV movie The Burning Bed was a major television event in 1984; it was the first movie ever to include a nation-wide 800 number that people could call for help with an issue. That phone number belonged to the National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH). Farrah served on their National Advisory Council as well.
To honor her commitment to domestic violence awareness, we ask you to join the NDVH Million Voices campaign. It’s free and easy! http://www.ndvh.org/join/ If you are on Twitter, please follow @MillionVoices.
Help us spread the word! Here’s how:
- On Twitter, post a message like this:

2. On facebook, post this link http://www.ndvh.org/join (choose the 5th picture for the Thumbnail, the logo for the Million Voices campaign). Along with the link you could say something like this:
