Twestival NYC Celebrates iMentor
On Thursday, March 24th, iMentor was honored at the NYC Twestival. Twestival (Twitter Festival) is a global series of events that use social media for social good. Twestival events connect online communities offline on a single day to highlight great causes. On March 24th, Twestivals were held in over 150 cities all over the world, including locations across the US and in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Twestival NYC brought together over 100 socially conscious New Yorkers to connect offline and celebrate iMentor. The crowd gathered at Studio XXI, an exclusive Chelsea nightspot, to dance, mingle and learn more about iMentor. Several of iMentor’s dedicated mentors attended to share their experiences. The event was sponsored by innovative startups, including Hashable, Wachitoo, PopChips and Roommate Happy Hour, as well as Quintessentially, FRS, BarTab, Sprinkles of Hope, Liberty Travel and Cheek'd. All proceeds supported the 1,800 mentor-mentee pairs participating in iMentor NYC this year.
