How Twerking Videos Are Saving America’s National Parks
Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona found a smart way to get people’s attention for their fundraising campaign. They’re using popular twerk videos from rapper Megan Thee Stallion before asking for donations on TikTok.
The Petrified Forest National Park needs money because of planned cuts to their budget. So they decided to grab viewers’ attention with videos of Megan dancing at her past concerts.
Creative approach
This creative approach is getting lots of views and shares online, writes Upprox.com. The park posts these attention-grabbing clips before sharing their message about supporting national parks.
In their fundraising message, the park states exactly what they need: “Do you wanna help the National Park Service? Well, good news. Petrified Forest is here to rock your world and yes, the wood is still hard after 200 million years.”
“First, grab a National Parks pass for just $80. That pass gets you access to to over 2,000 parks including Petrified Forest, where the wood is so rock solid it’s basically nature’s Viagra. Next, head over to nps.gov and sign up to volunteer. Want to donate, nationalparks.org is your go to. Every day keeps the trails smooth, the signs fresh, and the wood, well firm.”
