Dallas Twestival Anticipates Success
Supports The Women’s Museum in Fair Park
On Saturday September 12, 2009 at 6pm Dallas will be participating in Twestival Local, an event organized and implemented 100% by volunteers who advocate and encourage use of the micro blogging site Twitter.com, and wish to use their social media skills for a local cause.
All proceeds of the Dallas Twestival will be donated to The Women’s Museum of Fair Park, an institute that makes visible the unique, textured, and diverse stories of American women.
Twestival Local originated after Twestival Global in February 2009, which brought together 202 cities around the world to raise money for charity:water. The event resulted in an astounding amount of $250,000, 55 wells drilled with more than 17,000 people served in Uganda, Ethiopia, and India, and a connection between the Twitter community and the people they served. With such high results achieved from Twestival Global, Twestival Local aims to achieve the same effect through a more localized community and charity.
The event will be held at hotspot Mockingbird Station where select exhibitions from The Women’s Museum will be on display, several local bands will donate their time and musical talent, and Dallas Tweeps will be tweeting in person and online throughout the night about the event.
Current sponsors of the Dallas Twestival are Sticviews, Calliflower, pzizz, and nomee.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $13.00 for last chance. Tickets are available to be purchased on the Dallas Twestival website, www.dallastwestival.com.
Alyssa Gardina, Marketing Associate of The Women’s Museum says, “It’s a huge honor to be chosen for the Dallas Twestival. We’ve been working on building our social media presence and this make those social media connections much more personal. We’re excited about being able to promote the incredible stories from women’s history around Dallas and around the country, especially since we currently the only national women’s history museum. We are looking forward to September 12th!”
