At this point, many of us will have become so consumed by the present buying, party hopping and meal planning that the true meaning of the holidays is lost. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of time left to embrace the season of giving -- and that’s exactly what we intend to do with this Twitter challenge.
Mashable is partnering with RetailMeNot to inspire the Twitterverse with warm and fuzzy stories of giving back. In order to do this, we are calling out for you to share a story about you give back with the hashtags #SaveItForward and #promo. We will select three of our favorite tweets and RetailMeNot will make a $100 donation out to the tweeter’s selected charity through DonorsChoose.
Need a little guidance? For some, giving back could mean spending a little time with those less fortunate. Others might surprise a grandparent with an unexpected visit or help out a neighbor by shoveling their driveway. No matter how you choose to give back or how large or small the gesture, we want to celebrate how you pay it forward.
You have until the 31st of December 2015 to send your tweets with the hashtags #SaveItForward and #promo. We’ll be featuring the three winning tweets plus a selection of runners-up in a follow-up post before the year is said and done.
How are you giving back this holiday? Share with #SaveItForward and #promo to win a charity donation in your name! https://t.co/neuwWpbfGp— Mashable (@mashable) December 22, 2015
