If you’re looking for ways to help others this holiday season please take a moment to visit their sites.

Stocks For Tots was created as a way to bring together stock car racing and its fans, while raising awareness of the child abuse problem in North Carolina. The idea was to collect toys and raise money during a festive, family-oriented holiday event. Organizer John Maloney, “One of the cornerstone’s for Stocks For Tots was Don Miller winning the inaugural NASCAR/Home Depot Humanitarian Award in 2007 which gave $100,000 to Stop Child Abuse Now in NC & a new Kaboom Playground.) Stocks-for-Tots celebrated its 20 year anniversary and continues along with Stop Child Abuse Now to help thousands of children, families, and parents in NC.” www.stocksfortots.com

Second String Santa is one of Charlotte’s largest social holiday parties! The mission is to deliver holiday gifts to children in the Charlotte community. “We celebrated our 20th Anniversary of the Second String Santa holiday party Tuesday, December 2 at the TimeWarner Cable Arena.  This was a record year for us as we raised over $61,000 and collected 2,790 toys for needy children in the Charlotte area.  Our website has helped us promote our charity and events to the Charlotte community,” Jackie Savage, 2008 Second String Santa Co-Chair. www.secondstringsanta.org

The immediacy is impressive and unprecedented. Journalists who Twitter (yes, it’s now a noun and a verb like Google) are much more likely to be tech savvy and receptive to quick tips relevant to their audience and areas of expertise.

Public relations consultant Harry Hoover has started a wiki with a growing list of Twittering (also an adjective!) journalists.
