What would you do with £500 if you were given it for free? Keep it or donate it?
Giving Nation is launching a viral e-mail campaign to help find out.
Giving Nation
will be giving away £500 to two lucky winners, one 11-16 year old and one teacher,
to spend during G-Week, 23-27th June. They will then get to spend the cash as the
majority of voters in their category voted.

Any visitors to www.g-nation.co.uk can play the game for fun but only secondary 
school teachers and 11-16 year olds are eligible to enter and win.

The month-long “Are you a giver or a taker?” campaign will be promoted to pupils
with viral e-mails produced by Revolver Design Ltd. These will be sent directly 
to 40,000 11-16 year olds across the UK and promoted across a variety of on- and
offline youth Web sites, magazines and postcards. The teachers’ viral is being promoted
via the education press and direct mailings.

The winners will be announced during the first ever G-Week (23-27 June in England
and Wales and 16-20 June in N.Ireland and Scotland). This is a national week-long
celebration of young people’s fundraising, volunteering and campaigning activities,
when hundreds of schools will reflect on the value and impact of their charity-related
work and/or participate in charitable activities.
