United Way and Facebook Engage Young People

By teaming up with Facebook Causes, United Ways nationwide are participating in a friendly competition to engage and inspire young people-by mobilizing advocates for education, income and health.  Get involved, get informed, and get active…and help win $50,000 in total grants for your Cause and United Way.  Phase Three of the Challenge started on 09.01.08:

  • Invite (phase one, 6/21-6/28): The Cause that adds the most members wins $2500 for their local United Way and young adult programs.  Second place gets $1500 and Third gets $1000. 
  • Mobilize (phase two, 6/29-8/31): Get active with your Cause, learn more about the issue, and share your ideas. Causes with the most activity will split $10,000 in grants for their United Way. 
  • Activate (phase three, 9/1-10/31): Get out there and do something in your community or on your campus.  The top Day of Action events will split $35,000 in grants for their United Way.

For more information, contact geny@unitedway.org.  The United Way Challenge on Facebook Causes is supported by FedEx, Gatorade, and CheapTickets.
