#1 Thing You Need to Learn from This Post:
Beth Kanter is one of the most prolific writers and insightful thinkers when it comes to non-profits and social media. You can help her celebrate her 53rd birthday by sending 53 children to school in Cambodia.
A More Detailed Exploration:
Giving away your birthday and asking friends to donate to your favorite cause has become an important part of the social media/cause landscape. Beth Kanter has been doing it for nine years.
I have a very simple proposition for you:
- Do you care about helping kids learn?
- Have you ever learned from Beth Kanter?
- Do you have a few dollars to spare?
I answered yes to all three questions, so that’s why I’ve donated to her birthday campaign.

Hey Scott: I always believe in “handwritten” thank you notes for donations to my cause – not the most efficient way .. hence I am day late here. But wanted to thank you so much for making my birthday the best ever — AND also learning from your post re: an effective call to action.
