On May 2, the second annual Phil’s Day event will take place all across the UI campus. In advance of Phil’s Day, the University of Iowa Foundation’s Student Philanthropy Group is inviting members of the UI campus community to participate in a social media event to celebrate the impact of philanthropy on campus: the #philwashere Instagram Challenge.

From April 1 to 14, students, faculty, and staff can take the opportunity to share where they see Phil—short for philanthropy—at work on campus. Smartphone users can download the Instagram application and follow @uiphil, then use the application to snap and share a photo of philanthropy at work on campus, using the tag #philwashere. Entries may also be submitted by emailing photos to philwashere@uiowa.edu.

Two photo submissions will be selected to win an iPod/MP3 docking station, and winners will be notified by email.
