Dec. 1 event at OMSI will help launch
#OregoniansGive and the first ever #UNSelfie campaign
On Dec. 1, Standard Insurance Company (“The Standard”) will help
kick off #OregoniansGive, Oregon’s statewide #GivingTuesday
movement, through $15,000 in donations to six Oregon nonprofits, a
special event at OMSI and social media campaign with employees and
local nonprofits.
It all starts with The Standard donating $2,500 to six Oregon
nonprofits: Clackamas Service Center, Community Action, Portland
Rescue Mission, Returning Veterans Project, Store to Door and Urban
Gleaners.
In addition to the donations, The Standard will join
#OregoniansGive in launching the inaugural statewide UNSelfie:
#GivingTuesday campaign. As implied by its name, participants are
encouraged to take photos holding paper signs that indicate the
causes they support, redirecting the focus of a selfie onto
nonprofits and volunteers in the community.
The Portland metro campaign will kick off at an event on
Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015, from 7:00 – 8:00 a.m. at OMSI in Portland.
Free and open to all, everyone will have the opportunity to
simultaneously post their photos to their respective social media
channels at 8 a.m. Coffee and donuts will be provided and every
attendee will receive a free OMSI pass.
“Our participation in #OregoniansGive and #GivingTuesday
celebrates the idea that every individual and organization can make
a difference, whether through financial donations or volunteerism,”
said Bob Speltz, senior director of Public Affairs at The Standard.
“We anticipate that the collective energy of the nonprofit
professionals, civic leaders, donors and volunteers attending the
event will help make #OregoniansGive a success.”
The #OregoniansGive campaign seeks to raise $3.9 million for
nonprofits on Dec. 1 — a dollar for every Oregonian.
Employees of The Standard are able to wear jeans and their
company t-shirts to work on #GivingTuesday and are also being
encouraged to take UNselfies and post them to social media with the
tags #TheStandardGives #UNselfie #GivingTuesday and
#OregoniansGive.
