Social network for volunteers will demo site designed to create excitement around volunteerism

ITHACA, NY, May 01, 2013

GiveGab (www.givegab.com), the social network for volunteers, announces it will exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2013-Startup Alley on Tuesday, April 30th in the Networking section. Visitors to the GiveGab booth can receive a demo of the site, and learn how it's designed to make volunteering and volunteer management easier.
