WE Volunteer Event in Times Square

15 Dec

This Thursday the 17th at 11:30am, WE tv will be holding an event at Military Island in Times Square (Broadway/7th Ave between 43rd and 44th) that should not be missed. The network is promoting their 3-year campaign, WE Volunteer: What A Difference A Day Makes, which encourages women to volunteer with organizations they are passionate about. They will be unveiling a mobile center in Times Square, which will allow people to sign up on the spot to give the gift of 24 volunteer hours in 2010. Lush will be providing stocking stuffers to those individuals who come aboard and sign the digital pledge. In addition, all those who make the volunteer pledge will be automatically entered to win an awesome sweepstakes prize that includes a trip for two to New York City to attend a fabulous red carpet movie premiere and it’s after-party, with a two night stay at a boutique hotel.

Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City fame will be on hand to help with the ‘Resolution Center’ unveiling, and show her support by pledging to volunteer 24 hours of service in 2010 with the Alliance for Quality Education (AQE), a NY state non-profit organization that seeks to give every child a high-quality public education.

If you’re in the area on Thursday and have some free time, stop by the WE Volunteer event, make an early New Year’s resolution, and pledge your time to volunteer in 2010. You can also visit the WE Volunteer website, which has some great tools for getting started and keeping track of your volunteer hours, as well as providing a place for you to share your experiences with others in the WE Volunteer community. Also check out their Do Good, Feel Good Blog, which has a slew of tips and stories of volunteering online, outdoors, in schools, and more.

See you there!
