Brought to you by the Great Race Refs
Thanks to everyone who has joined us over the past eight weeks to support Jennifer Keating in her quest to become the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Woman of the Year. June 13 marked the conclusion of the Great Social Media Race and we can officially declare LinkedIn as the winner.
Over the past eight weeks, LinkedIn never yielded the lead, securing $4,466.70 from just 55 team members - 48 percent of the $9,371 raised by the Great Social Media Race. Facebook came in a close second with $3,660 raised through the help of 333 friends and the Team Tom blog took third place with $1,240.
As a part of Team Tom, however, the Great Social Media Race remained just a fraction of the total contribution. Over ten weeks, Jennifer and the rest of Team Tom raised $85,441 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and all 20 Man/Woman of the Year candidates combined to raise $890,000 for blood cancer research, support, and education. Congratulations Jennifer - Congratulations all.
Again, thank you all for your continued support, time, and donations. Congratulations Team Tom! Please visit http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls for more ways to stay involved.

About Me:
- Jennifer Keating and TeamTom.org
- Using several of the most populated social media sites, including Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter, the Great Social Media Race will track the amount of money raised from visitors to each social media site. Aside from being the central point of the Great Social Media Race, this blog will also be gauged as a fundraising tool. The Great Social Media Race is an important experiment in determining the effectiveness of social media, but it also helps a wonderful cause. Tom Bell, who aside from being Jennifer’s father, served in Vietnam, served more than 20 years with the Virginia National Guard, and worked 25 years as a detective on the Arlington County Police Force. He lost his battle with leukemia on April 25, 2006. Team Tom, having been selected to participate in the LLS’ annual Man/Woman campaign against 19 other individuals in the Washington, D.C. metro area, is competing from April 1st – June 13th to raise as much money as they can for the LLS. The person who raises the most wins the title of Man & Woman of the year.
