The Hunt with Sponsors2-01

Are you looking to do a little good this summer?  DoSomething.org, the nation’s largest organization for teens and social change, has partnered with Lenovo, the world’s second largest PC maker who helped found the campaign last year, and Bing, the search engine from Microsoft, to launch “The Hunt: 11 Days of Doing”(http://www.dosomething.org/hunt). It will run through July 20. Each day DoSomething.org releases three challenges  at 11:11 Am EST on the web, text, and and email for people to complete. All of the challenges take no longer than an hour.

These are just a few examples of some of the past days’ challenges:

 

Search for “HOMELESS ANIMALS IN US” on Bing to find an animal homelessness stat. Raise awareness by sharing it on Facebook.

Go meat free for the day. Send in pictures of what you and your teammates ate instead!

Find 3 household items to donate to your local animal shelter. (Need help finding the closest shelter? Use Bing to help locate it!)

 

Do you have an hour to spare to help do some good?  If so, sign your family up and help make some small changes that add up in big ways.  I hope you will join me over the next three days as I share some of the challenges my family and I will be doing together and our results.

I am participating in a paid campaign through Mom Bloggers For Social Good.  All opinions are my own.
