Today Twitter is announcing their foray into two things we love — wine and Room to Read . As part of their Corporate Social Innovation initiative, Twitter has chosen Room To Read, an organization that promotes literacy in some of the poorest regions of the world, to be their first charity partner. The creation of the Fledgling Initiative will produce a new wine label called Fledgling Wine in partnership with San Francisco Do-it-Yourself winery Crushpad, with proceeds going to Room To Read.
Twitter staff will participate in making a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay with Crushpad and the public is invited to pre-purchase bottles of the wine, follow the wine-making process on Twitter, and possibly even participate in its creation at Crushpad’s 50,000 square foot urban winery in the Dogpatch district of San Francisco.
To kick off the Twitter-Room To Read-Crushpad first of its kind initiative, come join the proud partners and Girls in Tech at Room To Read’s Annual Fundraiser and Gala taking place tonight at the SF War Memorial. A few tickets are still available, inclusive of sumptuous food and wine, live music, and a live auction, which will include some very limited edition wines! Buy tickets here for $50, VIP $125, or at the door for $75. See you all there!
