We at TapIt missed an impressive event in social media last month. Using only her Twitter page, Alyssa Milano was able to raise $92,568 for her campaign at Charity: Water, an organization that provides access to clean water for communities in Africa. She started with a goal of raising just $25,000 in celebration of her 37th birthday. After that goal was quickly reached, she began upping the goal until the final number of nearly $100K was reached.
This is a great achievement as she was able to provide water infrastructure for over 4,600 people in Africa. It is also impressive she was able to do this all with Twitter. Granted, Alyssa has over 600,000 Twitter followers, but it shows the potential.
What if all of her followers were able to fundraise on their Twitter pages too? And their followers? The possibilities are endless.
