Charitable Giving:  How You Can Use this Pledge to Help those in Need.

The Christmas Unplugged Pledge is a web-based social media initiative.  Encourage friends and family to take this pledge by sharing this page on social media -- Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter -- and use the hashtag #ChristmasUnplugged.  We ask that all participates consider taking this pledge in support of a favorite charity.  When taking the pledge, donate to a charity close to your heart, and then let your friends and family know that you'll be spending your Christmas Unplugged in supportof a worthy cause you believe in.  This way you can help transform #ChristmasUnplugged  into an engine for charity during this special season of giving. 

In the coming days, ChristmasUnplugged also hopes to provide a direct link on this site for donations to at least one national nonprofit charity.  If you have a charity you would like to have considered, please contact Christmas.Unplugged.Pledge@gmail.com.
