Happy (Social) Mother's Day: #ToMamaWithLove

Epic Change recently launched a campaign called #ToMamaWithLove to honor moms across the globe and to raise funds to invest in one remarkable mama who dreams of building a home for children in her village. Meet Mama Lucy. She is the mother to an entire school in Arusha, Tanzania and it is one of the top-ranked primary schools in her region. Many of the children who would live in this home are the Twitter Kids of Tanzania.

Here are 5 reasons why #ToMamaWithLove rocks:

1. Epic Change is one of the first non-profits to use Facebook's new social plugins for websites. At ToMamaWithLove.org, you can "Like" the page and instantly share this initiative with Facebook friends.

2. You can pinpoint your mom's location on their virtual globe. There's a lot of buzz around location-based social media these days and Epic Change has definitely embraced the opportunity.

3. Every time someone tweets with the hashtag #ToMamaWithLove, OrganicBeautyNow.com will donate $1 (up to $2,000) to Epic Change. Also, some of ToMamaWithLove.org's sponsors will match your donation. View the entire list of sponsors here.

4. After donating in honor of your mom, you can create a personalized page about her called a heartspace. These pages can include video, pictures, and blurbs about how much you love your mom. Each page also includes social plugins for easy sharing.

5. Our client, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM will be donating $1 to Epic Change for every new follower @1800flowers gets from now through Sunday 5/9 (Mother's Day) - up to $2,000 total. Anyone who follows @1800flowers during this time will receive a discount code for 15% off on orders placed through Mother's Day.

So, if you still haven't found something for Mom yet this Mother's Day, why not give her the greatest gift of all? Change the world in her honor. Give #ToMamaWithLove.
