Charity Auction: Buy Yourself a Social Media Guru

I know that this site is a Technology , Blogging and SEO site, But why did I decide to blog about this charity work. Well let me first tell you about it.

Jennifer Leggio has started a unique campaign to raise much needed money for Team in Training, the fundraising arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which funds medical research for blood cancer cures and provides patient and family support programs.

What is unique on her campaign was using the top Social Media Person in US and Canada to Talk as part of the fund raising, and this Social Media personnel are well know on their respective niche.

She aims to raise $10,000 in doing so.

Here are the Social Media Person who agreed to be part of her Fund Raising campaign :Check out mediaphyter’s Post for other information.
