Thrivent Financial for Lutherans launches 'Fan it Forward' campaign
New initiative allows Facebook fans opportunity to make a difference with one click
Now through March 31, 2010, for every new fan of the Thrivent Financial Facebook page, Thrivent Financial will contribute $1 to Lutheran World Relief (LWR), up to $10,000. The goal of "Fan it Forward" is to generate $10,000 for LWR and raise awareness for the humanitarian outreach the organization is making in countries around the world. "We hope our members and others participate in 'Fan it Forward' and help us spread the word," said Marie Uhrich, senior vice president of Communications for Thrivent Financial. "This is a new way for us to build community online to help make a difference." Individuals can participate in the campaign by going to Thrivent.com/facebook and clicking on the Become a Fan button. A new tab on the Thrivent Financial Facebook page highlights the campaign details and gives fans quick tools to spread the word through Facebook, Twitter and email. So how will those participating in Thrivent Financial's "Fan it Forward" campaign be able to make a difference? Consider that:
