Closing the accounts for Copenhagen Twestival
Posted on: 15 June 2010 at 19:00 - Comment
On March 25, 2010, we were able to have more than 250 people come together for a single cause: Supporting Concern Worldwide. All of these people have one thing in common: They are Danish Twitter users.
Getting Marie Fisker and Rune Kjeldsen to play on stage, and Thomas Madsen-Mygdal to interview Morten Lund about his entrepreneurial endeavors, created a unique experience for those involved. Tom Collins even played for us after being called early in the evening on a cancellation, and it just goes to show the efforts everybody are willing to put into this crazy project.
Lots and lots and lots of sponsors provided us with gifts for the lottery and money for the cause. All the money from the ticket sales, lottery tickets, sponsorships and donations have finally been tallied and we can give the final score:
94,000.- kroner.
It has taken a long time to end at this amount because of some problems here and there, but this is what we’ve sent off to Concern Worldwide on behalf of Copenhagen Twestival.
The videos are still (!) on their way, but hopefully we can show you what happened in glorious technicolor sometime in 2010.
Kristoffer and I started this project with the intent of meeting a couple of interesting people, and the fact that 250 people agreed with that on a cold March night is still beyond my wildest imagination.
We started out with the goal of reaching more than last time in every way. That meant more than 30,000 DKK in profits from more than 150 people. We met that target and exceeded it significantly.
However, what amazes me the most is the level of support we get from sponsors, participants, performers and partners. Especially those who helped plan and execute the whole thing: Morten, Benjamin, Jacob, Ronni and Laura. They deserve all the love they can get for agreeing to help with this.
We have a lot of things to improve for next time, but we’re doing our best and hope you have a great experience the next time as well.
If you have any questions or comments, do get in touch.
