As part of Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer’s Give A Day week of service, the Louisville Digital Association is spearheading Geeksgiving, a pledge drive to generate donations and support for the Home of the Innocents. From noon to 9pm, a group of LDA volunteers — which can and should include you — will be using online tools to urge our citizens to donate goods and cash to one of the Derby City’s most deserving charities.

In other words, for nine hours on Oct. 19 we’ll be tweeting, blogging, Facebook-ing and G+-ing our fingers off until our various and sundry online followers have stocked Home of the Innocents with all the supplies it needs to keep Louisville’s most vulnerable citizens safe, warm, and able to face the holiday season with some measure of dignity and comfort. (We’ll even resort ot LinkedIn, AOL and MySpace if we have to.)

If you’d like to be part of the Geeksgiving team, register here. All it takes is a commitment to spread the word during the nine hours of Geeksgiving (and hyping the Geeksgiving event in advance). Work from home, the office, pretty much anywhere you’ve got Internet connectivity. If you’d like to be part of the in-person team working from Home of the Innocents during Geeksgiving, contact us. We’d love to have you there, sharing the strength of Louisville geeks united in service to a good cause.

It’s time to show Louisville what the power of Geekdom harnessed for good can accomplish. Register for Geeksgiving today.
