Tweet out Hunger and Diaper Drive

This year I learned about the Hard Rock Cafe's international campaign "Imagine There's No Hunger" from the Sales and Special Events Manager, Michael Machargo. And as many of you may know, I'm an avid Twitter fan. So when Michael and I met, we decided to show our local support by planning the first ever tweet up at the Hard Rock Cafe Ottawa on Dec 1st. The event then grew and it was not only to "Tweet Out Hunger" but to then join forces in the "Ottawa Diaper Drive" - all in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.

With our Twitter handle name tags and a room full of Twitter fans and newbie twitter fans alike, the room was buzzing. Everyone was enjoying in the festivities knowing that they were supporting a great cause that is so very important especially during the cold holiday season.

FACT: the Ottawa Food Bank provides emergency food to 43,000 people a month -35% of those being children and 1 in 5 Canadian moms have struggled to provide one of their babies' most basic needs such as diapers was more than enough reason to put on this event.

Together, with the music of Ana Miura and the Babes 4 Breasts, Mike Machargo, myself, Stephanie Montreuil and Candace Derickx from the Yummy Mummy Club, Alex Surrett from Surreal Mark8ng, and Neil from 99.7 EZ Rock were the proud hosts for the successful event!


If you can spare a couple of dollars, donate non-perishable items or diapers and baby food this holiday season, please do so as it's so important to show your support of our Ottawa community - especially since it's this time of the season we should be most thankful for what we have in good fortunes!
