SOCIAL MEDIA
We’ve done a great deal to get the word out about Fiesta Especial already, but your participation this year could help bring a lot more people to the event. Please LIKE us on FACEBOOK and FOLLOW us on TWITTER and encourage your fan base to do the same. In addition, please post up on your website that you are participating at Fiesta Especial® on April 20th – 21st and provide a link to the official website at www.FiestaEspecial.com. We will be recognizing each of our vendors and sponsors over the course of the week prior to Fiesta Especial with special shout-outs to each of you on our social media feeds.
If you elected this option on your volunteer registration form, we have assigned you to a regular position and will give you information about facebook, twitter and hashtags as you arrive at the event. We encourage you to post and tweet from your volunteer assignment and on breaks.
“SHOW US YOUR SHOES” CAMPAIGN
Capital One is doing a new shoe collection drive this year to benefit the underserved here in San Antonio. In order to help them raise a large number of shoes, they are asking Fiesta Events to help with the collection. Please encourage your supporters to bring a new pair of shoes to Fiesta Especial this year. It could mean up to $10,000 for children and adults with disabilities in our community if we can collect the most number of shoes.
