About PopeSup!
"PopeSup!" is a unique, one-stop, limited-time app that provides everything you need to enrich connectivity, fun, and goodwill during Pope Francis' upcoming visit to America from September 22-27. The PopeSup! Experience App includes an RSS feed from the official sponsor of the #PapalVisit, a FanMappr feature to see where other players are located, a Google map of the key stops on the Pope's agenda, and access to all our social media channels so you can stay in tune with it all.
The premise behind the #GetThumb Game is simple:
Pope Francis is as famous for his thumbs up as he is for his papal blessings, so the challenge is to see how many times you can capture his trademark gesture in person or in a live broadcast, and prove it via social media. Submit your photo captures to our Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram feeds, and those with the most "papal thumbs-ups" can claim their prizes by providing an online ticket stub from our Eventbrite page:
Simply register for a 50¢ player ticket at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/popesup-aka-pope-francis-pokemon-tickets-18584133644 and you'll be eligible to win prizes--including a chance to "give it forward" to those in need by partially or totally converting your personal winnings into a Kiva.org donation.
If you're not up for the game, you can still make a goodwill donation to our Eventbrite page at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/popesup-aka-pope-francis-pokemon-tickets-18584133644 and we'll pass 75% of it to Kiva.
