« Congratulations and Welcome to First-Ever White House Advisor on Violence Against Women | Main | In Memory of Farrah Fawcett »

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:

  1. On Twitter, post a message like this:

Honor Farrah Fawcett's legacy of fighting #domesticviolence: Join @MillionVoices campaign http://bit.ly/1avlB5 #charitytuesday #axo

     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:

The domestic violence awareness cause lost a great champion last Thursday with the death of Farrah Fawcett. Learn more about her legacy at http://bit.ly/1avlB5 and join the NDVH Million Voices Campaign in her memory.

Here's a sample facebook status:

     3. On email, send a link to this post (http://bit.ly/KQB4i) and ask your friends to participate... or just copy and paste the whole post into your email!

Thank you for your participation and for making a difference!
