Shoot for Charity at OpenWorld 2010

August 30, 2010
McLean, VA

Metaformers understands that in these difficult times, charitable giving does not always come easily. Yet charities need our support to continue their work now more than ever. At the OpenWorld 2010 conference in San Francisco, California, from September 19th to September 28th, Metaformers will help you Shoot for Charity! Attendees will have the chance to shoot baskets at the Metaformers booth and each basket can be used as a vote for their favorite charity. Metaformers will make donations to each of the top three charities.

There is no need to wait for the conference to vote, however. You can vote for your favorite charity twice -- once now and again when you Shoot for Charity in Moscone West at Booth 3624. Metaformers will add all the votes together and the three charities with the most votes win!

Click on the image of your favorite charity below or email giving@metaformers.com to vote!

Be sure to stop by Booth 3624 and shoot some baskets, and we will count your baskets as votes for your favorite charity.
