What is Epic Thanks Tampa?
Epic Thanks Tampa is an event that will be taking place in the Tampa Bay area on November 19, 2010. The event will be the result of combining Tweetsgiving (a global celebration that aims to change the world through the power of gratitude) and the amazing efforts of the Epic Change Organization. Epic Thanks Tampa will be focusing on helping one local change maker see their efforts come to fruition with a small push and some financial backing. The event will be a fundraising event that will also benefit Epic Change.
What/Who is a Changemaker?
A Changemaker is someone that is making a difference in the area in a positive way. Someone that could do amazing things if only they had a few extra bucks and some support. Think the Extreme Home Makeover, you know where they help that family that takes in homeless children, build a new home. The idea is not to build a new home, but we are looking for that hidden gem that is selflessly giving their own time and resources to make a positive impact in our community.
In the very very near future the Epic Thanks Tampa committee will be looking towards the Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Clearwater and surrounding area communities to help us find a local change maker doing something that is amazing, positive and basically unheard of.
There will be many more details as the event starts to get off the ground.
Please take a moment to mark this event on your calendar, send a Tweet with the hashtag #EpicThanksTampa or link to our event page on Facebook.
