The New Media Vault: December

This Month at New Media Vault

Hosted by Tubefilter, Stella Media, and LA Mixers, sponsored by WebTVPrep and supporting SillyWalks4Hunger

This month we're, as we celebrate the holiday season, we're supporting the efforts of the SillyWalksforHunger, whose goal is to serve 1 million meals this holiday season. Every $5.00 equals 35 meals — so this is doable with the help of Los Angeles' New Media community.  So, come share the holiday cheer, and enjoy the only downtown Los Angeles new media networking event.

Last month, hundreds of flash mobbers and Monty Python lovers swarmed the length of Universal CityWalk Hollywood in the first-ever SillyWalks for Hunger, kicking off a hunger relief initiative with a goal of providing one million meals to families, children and elderly in need.  Inspired by the famous Monty Python sketch “The Ministry of Silly Walks” and to honor their 40th anniversary, this first "SillyWalks4Hunger was choreographed by superstar creative directors Rich & Tone and was executed with an intention to not just to entertain, but to bring attention to a critical issue: hunger.
