Click, Tweet, and Support Domestic Violence Survivors: The Allstate Foundation and YWCA join together to raise awareness of domestic violence

UPDATE:  ON JULY 14 THE CAMPAIGN MET IT'S $75,000 GOAL...EARLY!!!!

Helping domestic violence survivors just became as easy as sending a tweet to your friends and family. The Allstate Foundation and the national YWCA have joined together to help end domestic violence through the #Tweet4YWCA campaign.


Beginning July 7, The Allstate Foundation is donating $1 to the YWCA for every tweet that includes #Tweet4YWCA, up to $75,000. The tweet-a-thon will run from July 7-16.


Additionally, Allstate Foundation’s website, http://www.clicktoempower.org/ , will feature a leader board, live streaming tweets, and a real time calculator of how much has been donated during the campaign.


Allstate Foundation, @ClickToEmpower, and YWCA, @YWCAUSA, have a commitment to ending domestic violence and providing economic empowerment programs.


Recap:


1. Send a tweet using the hashtag: #Tweet4YWCA.


2. Visit http://www.clicktoempower.org/  to see how close we are to reaching the $75,000 goal.


3. Follow @ClickToEmpower and @YWCAUSA to get updates about the campaign.
