CitizenGulf National Day of Action : August 25, 2010

Citizen Effect’s CitizenGulf project will become a National Day of Action on August 25th, in alignment with the week of the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The benefit — to be promoted by Gulf Coast Benefit — seeks to help fishing families find a new, more sustainable future by providing education resources for their children.

Thanks to Houston sponsors Jim Connor, Emily Connor, #SLGT (http://www.weslgt.com) and the Social Media Club -- and YOU! -- the Houston "Tar Ball" will help fishing families find a new, more sustainable future by raising money to provide education resources for their children.

In keeping with the theme, all guests are invited to dress in costume and/or black to commemorate the devastating impact Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill have had on Gulf Coast families. 

You can connect with us on Facebook for this event where we will be monitoring comments, etc.

CitizenGulf Education Program for Gulf Oil Spill Families

All ticket sales and donations from CitizenGulf Day of Action events will give families living in affected areas the extra support they need to get their children off to a great start this school year and to help ease stress on families with after school support services and activities.

The most vulnerable victims of the disaster are children. As part of our response to helping fishing families, Citizen Effect and Catholic Charities of New Orleans have created an education fund that will provide assistance to families in the form of school supplies and uniforms, as well as after school programming that includes tutoring and homework assistance, enrichment classes, recreational activities, and healthy snacks.


i ShakeThank you to iShake! They are donating the proceeds from the purchase of their apps to CitizenGulf. Check out their Apps at the iPhone store and tell everyone attending your CitizenGulf event!

CitizenGulf is a collaborative initiative between Andy Sternberg, Citizen Effect, el-studio.com, Live Your Talk, Sloane Berrent, Social Media Club, Taylor Davidson and Zoetica.
