Frozen Pea Friday is a demonstration of how Twitter can be used by nonprofits. People on Twitter change their avatar each Friday to be something about peas ("peavatars") to draw attention to the Frozen Pea Fund, a fundraiser for breast cancer research inspired by the cancer experience of Susan Reynolds. The Frozen Pea Fund clicks through to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer donation site.
