Pizza Hut and Charity

I found a old charity donation that Pizza Hut made in 2009 and there has been talk to have another charity in 2010. To help raise awareness about worldwide hunger, Pizza Hut turned Monday to its more than 17,500 Twitter followers to help spread the word about where they can donate money.For each re-tweet of its message, Pizza Hut pledged four meals to World Hunger Relief, a campaign that supports the United Nations World Food Programme and hunger relief agencies internationally.Pizza Hut, which tweets as @pizzahut, sent out this message on Monday: “We will donate 4 meals to World Hunger Relief for every four people that re-tweet." Global hunger has reached more than 1 billion hungry people around the world. “At Pizza Hut, our goal is to get the word out about what can be done to help feed the hungry. We’re asking our customers to help us spread the word through a simple tweet, and in exchange we will provide meals for World Hunger Relief”, said Scott Bergren, president of Pizza Hut.The donation period started on September 28 and ended Oct. 31 at midnight. Pizza Hut said donations will be made for the first 25,000 tweets, providing a total of 100,000 meals.
Now even though this is an old charity, i can see that pizza hut is trying to do alot of good in the world and make a difference. They turned to social media to help make their donation as big as possible and i think its great that their going to have another donation for this up coming year.
