SaveFooty - Blog of the Day

Blogging is a perfect tool for local grassroots activism. Having a blog allows anyone to build an audience to spread their message in an easy, low cost and effective manner.

Australia’s drought crisis is affecting all sorts of small things that can significantly impact the lifestyles of all of us as inhabitants of the big brown land. One affected group doing something about it is the regional football campaign SaveFooty which has been selected as our Blog of the Day.

SaveFooty is a blog created to raises funds for every local sports ground under threat of closure due to drought so that they can buy a water tank.

It’s a great idea that I hope through the help of blogging succeeds. As a blogger you can support it by linking to their web site and if you are a member of an AFL club, send the link to your club’s CEO so they know about the cause.

The thing that excites me, mainly because I always wanted to be a mascot, is that the SaveFooty blog has their own mascot named ‘Toothy’. How terrific is that? I can’t figure out what the link between the lack of rain, football and teeth is, but it honestly doesn’t matter to me. ‘Toothy’ needs to be planted right behind the set of Channel 7’s Sunrise to get some attention from Mel and Kochie and national TV coverage to add a little oomph to the awareness of their blog. Good luck SaveFooty!
