Another Chance To Be Awesome and Help Kids While Using Twitter **TODAY**

[Groovy Jones]

The Lollipop Theater Network is an organization that brings movies currently in theaters to kids who can't leave the hospital because of chronic or life-threatening illness.  Their goal is to create a fun escape from the daily reality of the illnesses these children face and to offer them and their families a moment of normalcy.

On Monday, April 5th, they are having a Tweet-A-Thon where they ask anyone who would like to support them to include the hashtag #lollipoptheater in all of your tweets that day, whatever you're saying.  The goal is to trend #lollipoptheater to raise awareness for what they're doing.  It's that simple.

There is more one could do at kindmovement.com and information on that is in the dooblydoo of the video about the Tweet-A-Thon, which is here:

Lollipop Theater Network Tweet-A-Thon

I've been thinking about this.  One of the obstacles Shawn Ahmed runs into doing his Uncultured Project is that the established organizations whose goal is to decrease worldsuck don't view the internet media as having an impact on "real life".  Now obviously, they don't know about Chartjackers, or three years running of Project For Awesome, and all the other social media-based projects out there trying to make the world a little more awesome.

A successful Tweet-A-Thon to get trended may not make them change their minds overnight, but it will add to the momentum of getting this technology recognized as  a meaningful and important arm of their work.  Helping the Robot Skeleton Army with their Tweet-A-Thon indirectly helps Shawn with Uncultured Project and all the other awesome-increasing causes who gain their drive from community involvement over YouTube, Twitter, etc.  Like John said in a video somewhere- There is no them, there are only facets of us.

i'll be sure to trend like a mad man #lolipoptheater#lolipoptheater#lolipoptheater#lolipoptheater. Jumping the gun?

[Groovy Jones]

Being obnoxious about it will just turn people off and backfire. Send a reminder to your friends, talk about it, talk about other stuff entirely, as long as the #lollipoptheater is in there it will count. I love good causes that are that easy!

[Team Unicorn]

:D Great cause. Hopefully, I'll remember to tweet that day. *awful memory*

[Groovy Jones]

Thanks for such a quick response. I'll be sure to shamelessly bump the post if needed, and hopefully someone tweets you with #lollipoptheater in there to remind you right? :o)

That's next Monday, do you think we can get the info to John and Hank in time they can think about if they want to mention it in a video so Nerdfighteria at large will learn about it?

[Team Unicorn]

Possibly. Granted, it'd probably take some massive spamming towards them to get it through in time. There's other great causes going on in April (Like Day of Silence and Anti-bullying day), so maybe we can rally together and spread the news and fight some suck. :D

[Groovy Jones]

Well, we just had the video of Top 10 Animal Power Moves. That's the Nerdfighter Power Move, taking over the internet to make awesomeness happen.

You have a good point. April looks like a combo deal. And imo definitely worth mentioning to keep us limber until next December.

Weekend bump.

ZOMG that's today!
