Since no one else seems to be :) Here are some suggested tweets (still thinking of longer FB/G+ messages folks should feel free to expand)
If we want to 1 larger tweet:
Huge thanks to those YouTubers who created great #ProjectForAwesome https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ProjectForAwesome videos supporting @ Wikimedia https://twitter.com/Wikimedia & @Wikipedia https://twitter.com/Wikipedia http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation
Personally I'd kinda like to send out 3 individual tweets for the 3 videos that were created because that way we could individually call out/thank the different youtubers who created them (which I think would make them very excited, and be good for both sides) Anyone have thoughts on that?

Actually, NOW copying this into the SM list (in fact creating a new thread on SM list because it was rejected when both lists were on the same thread for privacy reasons).

I think so, do we want to share this specific video or all of them? (either separately/spread out or as one big link to the category).

Sounds like there's a consensus to share on our social media properties
Twitter: @wikimedia, RT from @wikipedia Facebook : from our Wikipedia Facebook account Google + : from wikimedia, reshare from wikipedia.

On a side note: The name of the foundation they put together to run the project (after the two founders ran it themselves for a while) has the best name I've ever seen for a non-profit: The Foundation to Decrease World Suck http://fightworldsuck.org/

No problem in my opinion with sharing the youtube link, We can also share links (for this year) to the project for awesome page which has a bit more data/links to donate. ( http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation/project-for-aw... is the P4A link to the video Michael mentions)
Other videos from this year:
http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation/project-for-aw... ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koY7C9E8V7Y )
http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation/project-for-aw... ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9d55W9X7Oo )
Haven't looked to see how good those are yet though :) http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation is a link for all 3.
I traditionally send an email to staff every year about this, I think it's an awesome project and they always make some good videos. If you're interested in old ones see below :)
Last years' videos:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDQkRv7ohVA [long, and really
not a very good video, but adorable from someone who clearly doesn't do this very often]
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFaFjfRHXzU [another, shorter,
youtuber video]
A couple older ones (there are others you can see elsewhere if you search around)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAkHNhIwcTg [one of the 2012
videos]
- My favorite, from a couple years ago and a guy who also made
(doesn't much anymore) a bunch of cool songs based on WP articles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFpPpMpopV8
