St. Louis Mayor Fights Hunger with His Face at Atomicdust

What started off as a little joking around with our copier has resulted in more than 130 face scans to raise money for St. Louis Food Outreach, and now has attracted the attention of St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.

That's right, Mayor Slay fought hunger with his face at Atomicdust.

Yesterday, the Mayor and a couple members of his staff made the trip down to Midtown Alley to play along with our little fundraiser for Food Outreach. For the last few weeks, we've invited anyone in St. Louis to come to our office, scan their face and in return, we will donate $5 to our neighbors at Food Outreach. We're humbled that Mayor Slay took time out of his busy schedule to participate, and we're all in agreement that his impromptu visit was the highlight of our day, week and potentially, our year. 

Thanks again to Mayor Slay, and all 130+ participants, for coming by to ‘Face Off Against Hunger’ for St. Louis Food Outreach! And if you haven't come to scan... What are you waiting for?

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...

Mayor Slay is the best, thanks for all you do.
