Join: #TurkeyTweetup Thursday for The Salvation Army

As Turkey Day approaches, St. Louis offices will compete against each other to see which office can bring in the most canned and boxed goods for The Salvation Army - St. Louis.

The occasion? The annual Turkey Tweetup Office Challenge, to benefit Salvation Army food pantries. From 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15 at the Moonrise Hotel, offices from across the St. Louis area will gather to drop off their donations, network with other St. Louis professionals and enjoy a free turkey lunch – all while tweeting about it.

Attendees will use the hashtag #TurkeyTweetup to chat turkey, thanks and volunteer opportunities during the event … and drum up some friendly competition, pre-event. One office has already gotten an artistic start to their collection pile.

The winning office will earn the Red Kettle Trophy, a profile on the Salvation Army website and newsletter, and of course, undeniable bragging rights.

Follow @SalArmySTL and @MoonriseHotel on Twitter during the event as they live tweet the donation totals, photos and other Thanksgiving goodies.

Tickets are free with a canned food donation. Both offices and individuals are welcome to register by Nov. 12 at TurkeyTweetup.Eventbrite.com.
