The Problem
The Miriam center needed rebuilding. It is a facility that houses, educates and loves Haitian children with cerebral palsy, severe autism, and other major life challenges. Being one of the only facilities of its kind in Haiti, the current facility is housing children in 2010’s earthquake aftermath and was extremely overcrowded.
The Solution
• Co-founded an online celebrity Twitter auction and use proceeds to fund construction – fans bid for a celebrity to tweet them on Twitter
• Develop systems and processes to enroll celebrities, fulfill auctions, marketing and PR.
The Results
• Raised over $500K with a TwitChange branded eBay auction
• After co-founding TwitChange with Haiti auction, it went on to raise funds for other charities–Operation Once In A Lifetime and CARE. In less than one year over $1 million was raised.
