Live Tweeting Assignment

On Friday October 26, I attended Zeta Tau Alpha’s Pink Man on Campus philanthropy event and live tweeted through the competition.

The event was a male pageant held to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness and Education.  There were five contestant, three rounds and one winner who was crowned “Pink Man on Campus” for this year.

Each contestant was coached by a sorority on campus and was competing in honor of a charity of their choice.  The winner was given a portion of the proceeds to donate to their respective charity.

Throughout the event, I tweeted updates about what was going on, who the contestants were, photos and videos and finally announced the winner of the competition.
