SM4SC: Social Media for Social Change

It seems that I’m not the only one toying with the idea of using social media for social change. Here is SM4SC or, literally, Social Media for Social Change (via Chris Brogan) —
The social media world has proven that, though still a young and small community within a multitude of industries, we have the power to exact great change. But what about change for the greater good? Social Media for Social Change was born of the idea that the social media community, these “agents of change” can get together for one night, to support one cause.
The first SM4SC event will take place on October 10 at Boston (Eventbrite) to raise funds to benefit Jane Doe Inc. , a Boston-based anti-domestic violence organization.
You can follow SM4SC on Twitter/ MySpace/ Facebook/ LiveJournal/ Flickr or on their blog.
I like the idea of SM4SC but I’m wondering if it will scale.
What do you think? How would you use social media for social change?
