Kenny’s Guitars in Dana Point offered a $1500 guitar as a gift to Craig “The Crab” Brandmeier to enjoy before terminal cancer ended his life at 26 years old. Craig never got a chance to play it.

Kenny still wanted to donate the guitar — and the Brandmeier family decided to use it to raise more money for cancer research; so here’s your chance to win this generous gift for only a $5 donation.

The “Craig the Crab” Team will conduct a drawing at the end of the Relay for Life event on Oct. 3, 2010.

You do not need to be present to win (but please be willing to pay shipping costs as every nickle of this project goes to the Relay for Life fund).

Each donation of $5 gets you one chance to win.

Just add the word “guitar” in the notes field of your online donation.

Good luck!!!

This cause oriented Facebook project uses a Facebook application called “Causes” and served to host a community of civic-minded residents with a mission to advocate for a cause and garnered over 12,000 members.

In conjunction with Surfrider Foundation, this online community built a large following and expanded online activism within the member base and created a central distribution point for information and a platform for recruiting new supporters.

In late June, 2009, the Dana Point Harbor Association agreed that Social Media Marketing can serve as a powerful tool to enhance the Harbor’s exposure to the public.

Initial goals:

• Establish a friendly, engaging and trustworthy presence for Dana Point Harbor on Social Media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook.
• Use these platforms to encourage continual conversations and “spread the word” about Dana Point Harbor as a destination and promote all local events.
• Establish a digital “concierge” to the Harbor, fielding questions for potential visitors to Southern California and providing suggestions on travel itineraries.
• Increase traffic to the Harbor website, thereby increasing public awareness.

Tactics:

• Set up a legitimate presence on Twitter and Facebook, taking the steps to show the public it is an official representation of the Harbor.
• Reach out on a “genuine” level to attract “Followers” and “Fans” by providing useful information as opposed to slinging marketing messages.
• Listen, listen and more listening to all the chatter that is happening. Distinguish what is relevant and engaging relative to the primary focus and become part of the conversation or encourage it.
• Become intimately familiar with the local offerings, whether it is a special event, promotion, activities, special offerings, accomplishments, or press coverage, and promote them in an authentic, casual way.
• Engage in conversations using all media: videos, photos, podcasts, whether they are obtained by Harbor personnel or others. Leverage all the available media possible.
