Team USA Wants You to Give Olympians a 'Digital Sendoff'

Uncle Sam wants you for a very important mission: Seeing American Olympians off to the Winter Olympics with plenty of good vibes, as part of Team USA's "digital sendoff" this Thursday

The idea is to amass an outpouring of well-wishes via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+ for the athletes who will represent the United States in Sochi, Russia, beginning Feb. 7. In return, many of those athletes will interact with fans via online chats and video hangouts

The sendoff runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET on Jan. 23
