This year, Bounce Energy is helping raise awareness and funds for 12 amazing charities with a unique social media campaign — and you can help out, too.

Each month, the Texas-based electricity company starts with a base donation of $2,500, and for each new 'like' on the Bounce Energy page on Facebook or follow for @BounceEnergy on Twitter, an additional 50 cents donation is added for the charity designated that month.

So far this year, Bounce Energy raised an impressive $57,000 to support these hard-working charities. The good causes include:
