\"\"Earlier today, we noted that Loopt<\/a> has launched a check-in for charity campaign<\/a> to raise money for Haiti. Rival Gowalla<\/a> is doing something similar as well.<\/p>\n

Called “Hearts for Haiti,” Gowalla’s campaign will take place on Monday, February 8 in the San Francisco Bay Area. When someone uses the service to check-in at one of three selected locations during a specific time, Gowalla will donate $50 in that person’s name to the American Red Cross for each check-in. So basically, all you have to do is show up at one of these places, check-in, and you’re donating to charity. The selected venues include two different Peet’s coffee shops and a Barenaked Ladies concert in San Francisco on that day.<\/p>\n

Here’s the details of the February 8 activities:<\/p>\n

\n

11:30 a.m. \u2013 1:30 p.m. Peet\u2019s Coffee & Tea in Emeryville at 5959 Shellmound Street, Suite 85
\n2:30 p.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m. Peet\u2019s Coffee & Tea in Mill Valley at 88 Throckmorton Avenue
\n5:00 p.m. \u2013 7:00 p.m. Barenaked Ladies concert at Infusion Lounge<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joining Gowalla and Peet’s in the effort are Alice Radio, a popular Bay Area radio station, and The Counter, a burger joint. Two morning show hosts from Alice Radio will appear alongside Gowalla co-founder Josh Williams and community manager Jonathan Carroll at the check-in destinations throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Alongside Gowalla’s $50-per-check-in pledge, Peet’s will be donating 10% of all sales made at the Emeryville and Mill Valley locations during the effort.<\/p>\n
