It’s time for BlogWorld and the New Media Expo in LA, and once again there will be an emphasis on turning online interest into offline action throughout the conference’s Cause Track. There will be a lot of great presenters providing terrific information for nonprofits and cause marketers. Follow the BlogWorld Twitter feed and the hashtag #bwela to keep tabs on all that’s happening.
This year, the convention is going to be graced with some extra splashes of colorful action presented by pop artist, Natasha Wescoat.
On November 5th, Natasha is going to do a special livepainting session in the New Media Lounge from 1:00pm to 4:00pm PST to benefit charity. The final painting created by Natasha will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to The United Way of Greater Los Angeles, which is dedicated to lifting LA residents out of poverty.
Natasha’s livepainting experience will be viewable on her Justin.TV channel, and her work of art will be up for auction on eBay.
“I want to offer my creative skills to help others, so I try to find ways like this to do so,” shared Natasha. “United Way LA helps fight poverty. It’s a problem many of us Americans overlook. I wanted to bring a light to their efforts, and the struggling community here in LA that needs our help.”
November is a big month for the United Way. On the 19th, the organization’s 5th annual 5K Run/Walk to End Homelessness in L.A. County will kick off at Exposition Park. Kobe Bryant is leading a fundraising team for the initiative, and you can too!
