The Squidoo Activists grew out of the Squidoo SuperHero Challenge brainstorm of Squidoo's Non-profit Organizer, Anne Reidy. Anne has moved on, but the Activist remain and continue to raise funds for charity.

Many of the original members were invited to participate as Squidoo Activists because of our participation in the SuperHero Challenge.
