Twestival Local is about supporting OUR community! We want to take the collective power, passion and love of the Charlotte Twitter Community and give back. We need your help to do this.
You can nominate your favorite Charlotte Charity.
Tomorrow night at the first planning meeting we’ll take a look at the most popular, and then narrow it down after contacting those charities. We’ll announce which Charlotte charity will benefit from Twestival Local early next week.
Go now and nominate your favorite community charity!

CLTwitter & CLTwestival
In February, the Charlotte Twitter community came together in two weeks to raise money for Charity:Water. The event was a success here in Charlotte and around the world. We raised over $2k in Charlotte alone!
On (tentatively) September 12th we will come together once again to support a local charity. This is our chance, as a community, to raise funds for a charity in the Charlotte area in a meaningful (and fun!) way.
How can you help?
If you’re wondering how you can help out, there are plenty of ways you can support the effort:
Which Charlotte charity are we supporting?
We don’t know yet! We’ll be accepting your nominations soon for charities to consider. Details will be available on the blog as soon as the voting site is up.
What can you do now?
There’s a number of ways you can get involved with what’s going on with @CLTwestival local:

In 2 weeks, we came together as a community to support a global cause. Without Twitter, the event would not have been as successful. Twitter is only as strong as the connections that are made through the application. This event showed that although Twitter is not mainstream, the Charlotte Twitter Community is diverse and strong. The Charlotte Twitter Community proved that we are capable of coming together very quickly and work toward a common goal.
The Successes of the event were that we planned a fun social event in which everything was donated from the DJs, the Banners, the prizes like the cruise, massages, scuba lessons, Tickets to Endsession, and event planning from Carolina NightLife. Creative Loafing and 106.5 partnered with us to help promote the event. We had special guest like Terri Bennett from Doyourpart.com, Nathan Richie as the MC, the Llttle Mermaid, and Professional Photographer Neil Cowley. WCNC ran a story the night of the event that was very positive for Twitter, Twestival, and Charity: Water. We were successful in raising awareness for Charity: Water and for Twitter in the local market. We only raised half of our goal because we had a lot of businesses who wanted to participate in the event and in this economic environment it was easier for them to give prizes in lieu of cash donations.
The Charlotte Social Media Community is building a strong foundation for future conferences, charity events, and other collaborative ventures. The events will continue to get larger and we are excited that Charlotte Twestival was one step into that future.
Thank you to everyone who came to the event, donated money, and volunteered time to make the Charlotte Twestival a success.

It is guaranteed that no Twitter-lead event will get this much print, radio, and TV media attention for a long time. It is important to raise money for Charity: Water. Those involved in the planning of Charlotte Twestival would not have signed on if they didn’t buy into Charity: Water’s cause and organization.
But almost as important as the charity is that there are going to be many eyes on this who do not fully understand Twitter. This is our opportunity to show that - thanks to the power of the connections we make online via Twitter - we can accomplish things in charity, business, and other aspects of life they were not possible before the application.
The Organization Team as put together an event that has enough prizes for a 2,000-person event. There will be DJs, Wii tournaments, media personalities, a professional photographer, and the opportunity to do some great networking.
The Charlotte Twestival Organizational Team has done its job putting together an impressive event. It is now up to you to make it to the event! Tell as many friends as possible, and bring people with you. We are ahead of most cities in the US in tickets sales and we are $3,500 away from our goal.
So on 2.12.09 we look forward to seeing you all at CANS at 7PM!
