Facebook Places allows users to check-in to locations on their mobile devices and share that information with Facebook friends. The document provides an example of how a nonprofit could use Places - two friends check-in at a bake sale event hosted by a fictional nonprofit called "Muffin Mania" to find a third friend in the large crowd. By checking in, their Facebook friends learn about the nonprofit event. The document also includes additional resources on how nonprofits can create a Places page and leverage check-ins to promote awareness.
