A Million High Fives Details
The Short Version
A Million High Fives is a live, crowdfunded documentary about helping others through social publishing.
Abbreviated as #AMHF, the project follows the journey of @BJMendelson and his team as they travel America to meet his Twitter followers, volunteer with them at their local shelter, and equip charitable organizations with tools to improve their organization.
All the way, Brandon will be high fiving every Twitter follower in person. You can see all of our tour stops on this handy Google Map here.
