Event Details
Meet Up With the Portland Social Media Scene for a Great Cause Saturday, April 18
Mom It Forward, in partnership with 12 for 12K, is kicking off 6-weeks of fundraising for moms and by moms (3/31 through 5/12) and we need your help!
On Saturday, April 18, Mom It Forward and 12 for 12K
events will be taking place all over the US, in Canada, and in
Australia with one event taking place right here in Portland.
The goal is to raise funds and awareness
for Yehu Microfinance, BasaBody, and Coast Coconut Farms
to combat poverty by empowering poor rural entrepreneurs in
Kenya to help lift themselves out of poverty through enhanced
accessibility to sustainable financial services, business
opportunities, and skills training. Mom It Forward's goal is to raise
$50,000 and we'd like to raise $2,500 at our Portland event to
contribute toward that!
- Date: Saturday, April 18
- Time: 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
- Place: Fat Straw
- Activities: Coffee & Raffle
What Is the Charity?
Yehu Microfinance, BasaBody, and Coast Coconut Farms work together to achieve this mission. How? First, women secure micro loans from Yehu Microfinance. Next, they purchase a franchise from Coast Coconut Farms,
which gives them the materials, skills/business training, and
opportunity to run a coconut oil extraction business right from their
village. Then, Coast Coconut Farms makes regular village runs to
purchase the coconut oil and processes it in its plant. Finally, Coast
Coconut Farms exports the oil to the U.S. where volunteers there use
the oil to create and sell bath, body, and cooking products—part of the
Basa Body and Coast Coconut Farms product lines—returning the proceeds right back to Africa to help more and more women.
For questions, please contact momitforward@gmail.com.

Hosted By
Mom It Forward & 12 for 12K
Mom It Forward
Mom It Forward
is the newest trend in mom groups and makes giving back fun, sociable,
accessible, and stylish—the new “in crowd” of moms where "mom" is a
verb. Not only is it fun, fosters friendships, but it is all for a good
cause—serving others and teaching our children to give as well.
The Mom It
Forward mission is "to change the world one mom at a time." We will
achieve that by 1) strengthening women, 2) helping them become the best
moms and/or influencers they can be, and 3) providing ideas, opportunities to, and
recognition for carry(ing) out the Mom It Forward mission in small and
large ways, locally as well as internationally.
12 for 12K
12 for 12K Challenge's aim is to raise a minimum of $144,000 for 12 charities over the
course of 2009, with a new charity being supported every month. All
proceeds raised go directly to the chosen charities.
The concept is simple:
- 12 months of the year
- 12 charities, a different charity each month
- $12,000 per charity
How will we do this? By using the power and outreach of social media
to spread the word. From Twitter to Facebook, blogs to social media
newsrooms and more, the 12for12k Challenge will be helping our chosen
charities connect with as wide an audience as possible.
