Cheerful Givers, which provides toy-filled birthday bags for less fortunate children, has been chosen to represent Eagan. Volunteers will fundraise for one day only, using Twitter, other social networks, and electronic media.Twive and Receive will be held simultaneously across the United States for 24 hours on June 14th, starting at 12:00AM Pacific Time (2:00 am Central Time). The top three nonprofits that raise the most money get a share of the $30,000 award pool.  

Residents of Eagan and volunteers across the country are encouraged to assist in promoting this competition on June 14 (one day only). Volunteers will be given copy to post on various social networks to encourage donations with a link to the donation page --   http://twive.razoo.com/story/Eagan-Helps-Kids-In-Need-To-Have-A-Happy-Bi... where every $10 donation results in a Happy Birthday for one child.
