Mobile Cause and NeoMedia Launch Nationwide Scan to Donate Campaign
Companies partner to enable Mobile and text donations for Sherpa Education Fund at Warren Miller’s national film tour, Chasing Shadows
Los
Angeles, CA & Boulder, Co.—October 27, 2015 -- MobileCause, the world’s leading “mobile
first” fundraising and communications platform for nonprofits, and NeoMedia Technologies, Inc.
(OTC PINK: NEOM), the industry’s innovator in global mobile barcode solutions, have
partnered with The Alpine Ascents Foundation and Warren Miller Entertainment to
launch a nationwide “Scan to Donate program”.
This Fall when
audiences are attending Warren Miller’s Chasing
Shadows ski and snowboard movie, the pre-show content features an interview
with the film’s producer (clip) on the Nepal earthquake which followed a few
weeks after their filming. Attendees are
encouraged to contribute to help Nepal earthquake relief efforts by donating to
the Sherpa Education Fund, part of The Alpine Ascents Foundation. Audiences can either text Sherpa to 41444 to scan the code using their scanning app of choice.
“Connecting with people and
places is the foundation of every Warren Miller movie,” said Andy Hawk,
Managing Director for Warren Miller Entertainment. “For 66 years, the
generosity we receive when we are traveling, and the willingness of people to
open their lives and homes to us has been amazing. The stories are brought
together through a universal love for winter recreation. What happened to Nepal
was devastating, but we are fortunate that organizations like Alpine Ascents have
programs established that provide long term education and solutions for the
region.”
“We are happy
to have been able to provide this service to help the Nepal relief efforts,”
said NeoMedia CEO Laura Marriott. “QR codes and text to donate enable a quick and
seamless donation experience for the user powered by NeoMedia and Mobile
Cause. Warren Miller Entertainment and
Alpine Ascents are top of their fields in the ski and mountaineering fields and
we are happy to be able to enable this leading class partnership. ”
“QR codes linked to our mobile friendly donation forms can
significantly enhance an organization’s fundraising efforts by making the
giving process even easier,” said Sean MacNeill, MobileCause CEO. “We’re
excited for this opportunity to partner with NeoMedia to provide Warren Miller
Entertainment and Alpine Ascents a fast and easy way for filmgoers to connect
and donate to such a worthy cause right from their mobile phones.”
This
game-changing partnership will pave the way for media viewers to donate easily
and immediately while the motivational urge strikes them wherever they are.
