Thursday 25th March 2010 should be on your calendar marked brightly to not forget! Its the 2nd global twestival event being held to support a specific charity and
For those who do not know what Twestival is, its a festival held WORLDWIDE to support charity and do fundraising that is organised predominantly through the global network that is Twitter.com
Twestival events although global are completely organized and orchistrated by local volunteers who give their time and effort to organize events together with finding talented people to collaborate with to donate prizes, source great venues, music and entertainment. All the proceeds from the sales of tickets, auctions, raffles and general donations will go to a charity chosen by Twestival.
2009 saw the first Twestival and donations were given to Charity Water (http://twitter.com/charitywater) and was a huge success wordlwide gaining a lot of publicity around the events and cause. This year the charity is Concern Worldwide (http://twitter.com/concern) who have a vision for changing education programs for the poorest people in the poorest countries in the world particularlly those who suffer from HIV and AIDS, children with disabilities, orphans, street children and so much more.
This year one of my favourite local businesses Crystal Jewels (http://crystal-jewels.co.uk / http://twitter.com/crystal_jewels1) are taking part in the Twestival in Bristol (bristol.twestival.com) by donating two handmade jewellery designs to the auction.
Bristol Twestival is being held at The Tunnels, an incredible location underneath Bristol Temple Meads station and former England rugby union international Gareth Chilcott who owns the space has given this to Bristwestival for free and if that wasn’t enough, fantastic local band Phantom Limb shall be playing on the night.
This year Bristol Twestival has over £1,000 worth of prizes to win – buy your tickets now or on the door on the night.
For a list of the prizes take a look at the Bristol.Twestival.com website
