In February, ASCE and Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA) called on their members and colleagues to garner the most donors and win first place in America's Giving Challenge. The challenge was designed to encourage the charitable use of social networking and Web 2.0 tools to empower individuals to fundraise for the organizations they care most about. EWB-USA placed first after participating for only the last nine days of a six-week competition. As one of eight champions, EWB-USA will receive $50,000 in addition to the more than $60,000 in contributions made through the challenge to their organization.
