Nearly every growing company realizes the importance of reaching out to help others through donations,community service, partnership and more. However, in these economically challenging times many have had to pull back and are not able to give as much as they would like. What if you could help others without opening your wallet? Better yet, what if you could help others by opening your mind and sharing your ideas. Think about it. What if your idea would translate into a donation for someone else? How? Through WebEx Pass the Ball program by Cisco.

Here’s how it works. You go to PassTheBall.com and share an idea. For each idea that you share Cisco makes a donation to Teachers Without Borders. If you comment on the idea of another, a donation is made to Teachers Without Borders. More ideas equal more donations.

Once you list your idea, others can comment and even become a part of your idea team and share, add to or pass along your idea. All of this activity generates donations for Teachers Without Border and you have not had to open your wallet once. Not once. It does not cost to sign up and there’s no cost to submit your idea, but the rewards are great in many ways.

Pass the Ball allows global collaboration on ideas that can greatly impact the world. It’s a different kind of social networking that get’s everyone working together to move something forward.

There are many good things about Pass The Ball and nearly every single person, young and old can participate. You can submit an idea in any of the various idea categories which include:

Art-Culture
Business-Economy
Communication-Media
Education-Innovation

Social networking and connection is playing a powerful part on the world stage. Pass The Ball takes the platform to a different level by providing a way for ideas to freely flow between members and help an important organization like Teachers without Borders at the same time.

Pass the Ball allows for a type of “open source” idea sharing for creative thinkers to start a ball rolling and see where it goes.
