Let's All "Tackle CF"

Hey Everyone, I got this really cool email about raising money for CF, so I thought I would share it with you so you can pass it along too so we can all help raise money for CF. I've shared this on Facebook once already, but here is a more extensive explanation....


Hi M,

My name is Seth Gonzales and I’m the coordinator of social media here at the Boomer Esiason Foundation.

My purpose in writing is first to introduce myself and extend to you an invitation to follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/boomeresiasonfoundation).

As a follower of your blog, I also wanted to make you aware of our brand new social media initiative that might be of interest to you, called “Tackle CF”. The Boomer Esiason Foundation is partnering with Samsung and Sears this month to help fight cystic fibrosis in a new way.

The idea is simple. For every one of these three social media actions taken, Samsung and Sears will donate $5 to BEF:

1) Twitter - tweet using #tacklecf
2) Facebook - share the Tackle CF clipboard with your FB friends (found on the Tackle CF website)
3) FourSquare - check in at any Sears or Samsung store

If any one of these social media actions are taken, Samsung and Sears will donate. The goal is $150,000. Even better, you can tweet, share on Facebook, or check-in on Foursquare as many times as you'd like. The program started earlier this month. As of now, we're near the $50,000 mark, but we need your help to reach our goal of $150,000.

If you would like to post about this, I can answer any additional questions you may have. Any help we get in spreading the word within the social media sphere would be greatly appreciated.

This is something very new we're trying with Samsung and Sears that's been a long time in the making. We're hoping for a great start to 2011 by reaching our goal.

Again, if you have any questions, my contact information is below

I appreciate your help!
