The Society for Geek Advancement and the Summer of Social Good charity fund are proud to announce Global Geek Week, including a week-long YouTube (YouTube) video competition.
Submit your geek inspired video to the Global Geek Week YouTube Group for the chance to win two roundtrip main cabin tickets to anywhere Virgin America flies, with Gogo passes so you can use WiFi to blog about the experience. Our Judges, including Guy Kawasaki, Shira Lazar, Hank Green of Vlogbrothers, Marina Orlova of TooHotForWords, puzzle champion Wei-Hwa Huang and Lisa Donovan aka LisaNova, will pick and announce the winners on Friday.
In addition, all week long we’re encouraging you to tweet and share how geeks can change the world (include the hashtag “#Geeks4Good”). Donate and keep up-to-date with video submissions, check out the twittervision global #geeks4good map and more at globalgeekweek.com. “Embrace your inner geek and give back!”
At Zappos, we are excited to be part of Mashable’s Summer of Social Good event to raise funds for The Humane Society, LIVESTRONG, Oxfam America and WWF. The campaign runs from June 1st through August 28th and culminates with the first ever Social Good Conference on August 28th at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. We have proudly sponsored this event so that 100% of funds raised can be donated directly to the charities.
This charity drive is different from others as the entire campaign will be held online and shared through social media tools (Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, 12Seconds and Globalgiving). To find out more about the program or to help the cause, please go to Adam Hirsch’s blog, COO of Mashable, or http://summerofsocialgood.com/ and help spread the word!
