Los Angeles, CA (November 27th, 2013) – Interactive Donor Corp., a New York incorporated Benefit Corporation branded as iDonor (givingtuesday.idonor.me), is hosting a special evening of ‘igniting the 21st Century Philanthropist’. This event celebrates #GivingTuesday and marks the **iDonor GivingTuesday Launch** of its widget on December 3rd at the Riviera 31, Sofitel Beverly Hills in California.
This ‘igniting the 21st Century Philanthropist’ red carpet event will take place on #GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and will be attended by iDonor’s non-profit partners. These include The Tiger Woods Foundation, The Trevor Project, Alzheimer’s Association, Two Wings, and Peace4Kids, as well as the Mayor of West Hollywood, Abbe Land, who will be presenting iDonor with a City Proclamation.
The evening will be a grand celebration of philanthropy and giving through version 1 of the iDonor mobile widget. It will be hosted by French Tuesday Productions, who will be adding their unique twist around socializing a celebration of Philanthropy and igniting the 21st Century Philanthropist.
Voices from the iDonor GivingTuesday Launch
“We are excited to be a part of this inaugural celebration and want party guests making donations along with capturing great photos and sharing them with their network of friends!” said Gilles Amsallem, Co-Founder of French Tuesday.
“During the evening we will be encouraging everyone to take plenty of pictures and upload their “unselfie” with #Unselfie and #iDonor, as part of the #GivingTuesday initiative to have millennials and celebrities capture “selfie” photos and talk about what they care about most.”
Ken Brenner, Founder of Interactive Donor Corp. added, “We will be celebrating #GivingTuesday and in order to harness the power of social media to support a national movement around the holidays by igniting the 21st Century Philanthropist. The movement is similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are synonymous with holiday shopping. iDonor is a global next generation solution that offers a more engaging and rewarding donation experience.”
Introducing the iDonor Widget
iDonor joined #GivingTuesday in a partnership to ignite the next generation of donors with the iDonor donation widget, which is the next generation of the current ‘Donate Now’ button.
The iDonor widget is a first of its kind, harnessing the collective power of a unique blend of partner charities, families, businesses, and individuals to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. This coincides with the Thanksgiving Holiday and the kickoff of the holiday shopping season.
GivingTuesday.idonor.me will inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities by giving now in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support, which will ultimately create a more harmonious world.
Engaging with the iDonor Platform & Prizes
The iDonor platform will provide people with the ability to choose their own individual giving while also having an opportunity to win a daily Giving Prize of a $100 electronic gift card (eGift Cards) shopping spree with over 40 national retailers.
Daily winners will receive and redeem their $100 eGift Cards on their mobile devices and redeem their prize with brands like Gap, Starbucks, JC Penney, Nike, Amazon, and many more! Daily prize draws will be made starting on #GivingTuesday 12.03.13 with the final Grand Prize draw on 01.01.14.
