Social Media: $8 Million for Haiti…and Growing

The Red Cross reports that $10 donations from cellphone texting to help with relief efforts in Haiti has hit the 8 million dollar mark as of 1/15/10 and it is growing. The power to help has never been easier. This is a milestone in fundraising for the amount and the speed in which the money was donated. The campaign was spread through various means, including popular social networks like Twitter and Facebook. I am sure fundraisers in Dayton have taken notice. Will we need still need ushers at church on Sunday to make the collection or will we text in our “gifts”? Look for more and more uses for your phone soon.
