WRISTBAND REVOLUTION - SUMMER 2012

WRISTBAND REVOLUTION - SUMMER 2012

A Different Brand of Revolution

IT’S BACK! Last summer, The DSM Group’s Wristband Revolution was exactly that: a revolution! The social media campaign reached thousands of people across the globe, and the DSM gang still wants to kick it up a notch. This year, The DSM Group decided that it would use its power to lend a helping hand and start a different revolution; one that truly matters. Last year, they asked to see what their friends could do with their creativity skills, and now - they want to see what their friends can do for the benefit of others. This year’s wristband revolution contest goal: to capture every helping hand…with an orange wristband on it.

The DSM Group chose to support Street 2 Street, a sports tournament program for the inner city youth. Street 2 Street is a part of Athletes in Action, a nationwide program that builds spiritual and hopeful movements through the platform of sports. Now you have to choose who you want to help! 

Here is how it is going to work:  The DSM Group will be selling its nifty orange wristbands for $2.00 a piece. Every dollar raised will go directly to Street 2 Street. At the end of the summer, they are going to ask everyone to cast their votes for the best display of volunteering and DSM will personally give the best picture/video $500.00 towards any charity of their choice.
