or this week's TwitCause we're teaming up with Lionsgate (@LionsgateRISE), the makers of the movie "Precious," to raise money for Everybody Wins! (@EverybodyWins) - a national literacy and mentoring nonprofit focused on building the skills and love of reading among low-income elementary students.Every time someone includes the hashtag #Read2Kids in a tweet between Thursday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 18, Lionsgate will donate $1 per tweet up to $1,000! To retweet the official message visit http://twitcause.com
Lionsgate chose Everybody Wins! USA based on the organization’s strong ties to the central theme of movie’s main character, 16-year old Claireece "Precious" Jones, a girl living in Harlem, who is tasked to overcome several trials and tribulations in her life eventually finding everything she was looking for through the empowerment of literacy and the written word. Although the film presents several tough topics, the overall messages are of hope, love, community support and the power of education.
“Precious, a film by Lee Daniels” presented by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry is now playing in select theaters.
