#Charity Comes to #DadChat Thursday – #MalalaFund

Posted on September 13, 2015 by Bruce Sallan

If there’s one thing we must teach our children, it is the value of caring for others – acts of service – charity and giving. We will discuss this subject Thursday, September 17 at 6:00 p.m. PT/7:00 p.m. MT/9:00 p.m. ET. We have a special person to honor this week in Nisha Varghese who is the embodiment of giving and caring! Let’s support HER charity this week – The Malala Fund – here is her fundraising page. Let’s get “her” over the next milestone and top $5,000!

#SocialMedia Social Good – Vitamin Angels

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Bruce Sallan

I recently had the privilege of attending the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of Vitamin Angels. It was a gloriously fun event held at the beautiful Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, California.

The event was a gathering of sponsors, donors, and others who have supported and worked with/for Vitamin Angels over the years. It included a terrifically fun golf tournament, lovely swag gifts from the sponsors, and a beautiful outdoor dinner with entertainment and short powerful speeches, accompanied by compelling video.

#DadChat Is Teaching Kids to Care #NoKidHungry

Posted on August 25, 2014 by Bruce Sallan

What is the #1 ingredient to happiness? Money? Success? Sex? NO! The single biggest ingredient to happiness is GRATITUDE. Most of our kids are living blessed lives yet most of our younger generation is more self-involved than ever. Tonight at #DadChat, August 28 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m.ET, we are going to TEACH OUR KIDS TO CARE (about something other than themselves) with special co-host Tim McDonald.

Kickstarter Gives

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Bruce Sallan

Kickstarter is a way that we can all participate in great Social Media projects or, for that matter, any worthwhile project. We have just launched our Kickstarter campaign to fund a coffee-table commemorative book featuring the history of our Because I Said So comic strip, the first 100 strips, and much more. My intention is to give 10% of any earnings to charity since I sincerely believe in Social Media = Social Good. I hope you’ll help support and promote our project. Check out all the cool reward levels – truly something for everyone! At the very least, enjoy the video!

This is a tentative book cover to give an idea of what it will look like!
