2010 Raffle Winners!

Posted on: at 1845 - Comment

We apologize for any inconvenience with the raffle tickets!  We had intended for participants to list their twitter handles on the back of each ticket they purchased, which would have made this whole process much easier.  Regardless, it is what it is, and we have some great prizes so I hope you kept your tickets!

Below is a list of the prizes that you could have won and the winning ticket number!

Please email nyctwestival@gmail.com if your ticket is the winning ticket and we will work out a time when you can pick up your prize from the general midtown area.  You must show the matching ticket to pick up your prize - so there’s no reason to try to trick us into giving you something you didn’t win. ANY PRIZES WITHOUT A WINNER WILL BE RAFFLED OFF NEXT WEEK VIA THE @NYCTWESTIVAL TWITTER ACCOUNT. We recognize that some people may not have kept their tickets (we had a couple Concern Cocktails at the event ourselves) so if a prize is unclaimed, we will give out via Twitter.

  • Pair of tickets to The Jimmy Fallon Show (1 Winner): 426120
  • Social Media Strategy Session with Clay Hebert (@clayhebert): 426032
  • UCB AssCat Party Pack: Four-pack of tickets and a beer, UCB Season 2 DVD, and a UCB Training Ceneter t-shirt: 426087

  • Madison Square Garden Rangers Prize Pack: 4 tickets and $100 in concession/merchandise vouchers: 426100
  • Golden Grahams Stimulus Package Prize Packs (4 Winners): 426056, 426017, 426068, 426090

Kudos for Twestival!

Posted on: 24 March 2010 at 2250 - Comment

We’re excited for all of our sponsors and again, need to say thanks for their efforts!  We really could not have done it without them!  Thanks to: PepsiCoBingFoursquareCNNRyppleSyncapse, and PopChipsClick here to learn more.

One of our sponsors, Rypple, is offering an opportunity to raise even more money for NYC Twestival.

Rypple believe great communities inspire people to be great and that positive feedback motivates people to reach their full potential. So, they built Kudos – a quick, fun, social way for you to recognize the good things your teammates do every day.

We think you should recognize the people who participate and volunteer to make Twestival happen.

In honor of Twestival, Rypple linked Kudos to Twitter and created a special limited-edition Twestival badge that you can award!

Here’s how:

  1. Go to https://rypple.com/feedback/#kudos
  2. Enter the email address of your chosen Twestival-er and write a short message
  3. Click “Add a badge” and choose the Twestival badge
  4. Click “Post to Twitter?”
  5. Click “Send Kudos”

As an extra-special bonus, you can win prizes for giving Kudos. You can win daily prizes, such as a Flip HD Camera, and, if you give the most Kudos at your company, you might just win an Apple iPad or a trip to Miami’s South Beach!

We hope that Kudos will help you be an even bigger part of Twestival.

AND…. Rypple will donate $0.50 to Concern Worldwide for the first 4,000 people who sends a Twestival badge on Rypple!  You could help our raise our total even more!

Shinobi Ninja!!

Posted on: 22 March 2010 at 1229 - Comment

Shinobi Ninja

Some ninjas are stealthy. Others attack their enemies with great ferocity. In the case of Shinobi Ninja, they kill through a combination of hard rockin’ riddims, razor-sharp rhymes and a hipster attitude that does Brooklyn proud. These musical assassins will be setting the NYC Twestival stage on fire this Thursday at Good Units.

Formed in early 2008, Shinobi Ninja is at the precipice of stardom, and we’re incredibly pleased to welcome them as our headline live entertainment on 3/25. Their synthesis of first world sensibility and third world musical styles brings the best of both worlds together (sort of like Concern Worldwide). They’ve also mastered the art of social media to engage with their fans around the world, and we hope that you will make their acquaintance at NYC Twestival. We’re sure it will be the start of a beautiful relationship.

Join Shinobi Ninja and over 1,000 other great folks to support Concern Worldwide. Your ticket will provide one child in the poorest parts of the world with education for two months. Who knew that getting your groove-on could do the world good?

Would you like to volunteer at Twestival?

Posted on: 20 March 2010 at 1431 - Comment

Volunteers are a huge part of Twestival NYC!  In fact, the event couldn’t run without their help.  That said, we’re in need of more volunteers for the night of the event, to do things like check wristbands and check off the guestlist at the start of the night.  Volunteers still purchase their own tickets - all the money goes towards Concern Worldwide - but just devote a half hour (or more) of their time.   Fill out this form to volunteer to help out!
