TrueHero.org - Rewarding Community Service via Social Media
Social Media , Web Design , Clients , Web Development Add commentsTrueHero.org, which was designed and developed by WRIS, was recently featured in Crain’s Cleveland Business (subscription required):
The former CEO of Royal Appliance Manufacturing Co. and Lamson & Sessions Co. [Mike Merriman] earlier this year quietly launched a nonprofit called True Hero, which only now is getting a formal unveiling. The web-based organization, at www.truehero.org, will award a total of $20,000 to 12 public service projects carried out by high school and college students and non-school groups consisting primarily of participants 23 years old and younger.
In a reflection of True Hero's launch in the Facebook/social media age, the content of the web site is almost totally generated by users.
Student groups submit descriptions of their projects, and monetary awards are made based on projects that receive the most votes. (The site's technology prevents people from voting for a particular project more than once, though users can cast votes for up to five projects.)
We've enjoyed working with Mike on this very cool venture. Go vote for one of the 50+ service projects vying for prize money!
