I’ll be joining a group of Triangle residents tomorrow at Raleigh Twestival, which is a party at Edge Office to support Charity:Water, an organization that is dedicated to bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. People all over the world (over 175 cities) are also meeting up to support this cause tomorrow. This is a HUGE event and a great example of people harnessing the power of social media for social change.  Using only the power of word-of-mouth, social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, these people will all join together in a one-day fund raising effort to help provide access to clean drinking water to some of the 1.1 billion people worldwide who don’t have this.

100% of the money raised tomorrow night goes directly to Charity:Water. A $20 donation can provide water for one person in a developing nation for 20 years. I encourage you to purchase a ticket to this event ($11.40 in advance) and support this great cause, or donate directly to Charity:Water if you can’t make it. Here are some more details about the event:

Where – Edge Office, 400 Glenwood Avenue

When – February 12, from 7pm – 9pm ish

More Info – There will also be music, food, drinks and a fun raffle for services/products from some of the event sponsors. North Hills Buzz is one of them, and we’re donating our top ad banner and a real estate listing for this. You can see a full list of raffle items here.

I’d love to see some of you at the event tomorrow night. There will be a ton of cool Raleigh folks there and it’s going to be a great time for a great cause. Purchase your ticket online at http://www.amiando.com/twestivalraleigh.html and you can get them for $11.40 today. They are $14 the day of the event and $20 at the door. Donations can also be made directly to charity:water (http://www.charitywater.org/twestival/index.html). Select “Raleigh” so the donation counts towards the local total.
