Celebrities and corporations have known for years that supporting charities makes good business sense. It is good PR for them, helps promote a cause they believe in and makes the world a better place.
If you have a cause that you want to give something back to, Kevin Bacon (the actor) and Network for Good have teamed up to create a website called “6 Degrees”. Through them, you can create a badge like the one to right that promotes your favorite causes.
Here a quote from Kevin Bacon:
“You’ve probably heard of the Six Degrees concept. Any one person (including me, Kevin Bacon) is connected to any other person through six or fewer relationships, because it’s a small world.
“www.SixDegrees.org is about using this idea to accomplish something good. It’s social networking with a social conscience. Through this web site, you can learn about and support the charities of celebrities and your friends, as well as fundraise for the causes close to your heart.
“I started www.SixDegrees.org in partnership with the nonprofit Network for Good in January 2007, more than 10 years after the game, “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” made the rounds of college campuses and lived on to be a shorthand term for the small world phenomenon. It is my hope that Six Degrees will soon be something more than a game or a gimmick. It will also be a force for good.”
So take this chance to get yourself a little publicity and give something back to your favorite cause.
