New York Bankruptcy Lawyer To Sponsor Humanitarian Efforts Through Social Media

New York bankruptcy lawyer and past President of Bankruptcy Law Network Jay S. Fleischman has long embraced social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook. But now he’s put his belief to good work by sponsoring Go Global 24, a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders.

Go Global 24 is being billed as 24 Hours of Global Fun and Frolic in support of Doctors Without Borders, and is organized by Henie Reisinger as a 12for12K event.

About 12for12K

The 12for12k Challenge is the combination of social media awareness and fund-raising that aims to change the lives of millions worldwide. Founded by business consultant Danny Brown, its aim is to raise awareness and funds for 12 charities over the course of 2009, with a new charity being supported every month. The concept is simple:

* 12 months of the year
* 12 charities, a different charity each month
* $12,000 per charity

12for12K uses social media to spread the word – from Twitter to Facebook, blogs to social media newsrooms and more. All the partners in the 12for12k Challenge are offering our time and services for free.

About Doctors Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971 MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. In other words, doctors who help sick and injured people no matter who they are or what they believe in. If someone’s injured, MSF steps in and helps. That’s pretty cool.
