September’s 30 Days 30 Ways campaign featured 30 different ways to help spread childhood cancer awareness. Just because September is over doesn’t mean you can’t revisit some of these ideas year round. Here is a look back at POST’s participation for National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2013:

 

 

1.      Change your cover photo for the month

Head over to our Facebook page to check out our cover photo and make it yours for the month too!

2.      Invite your friends to “like” the POST Facebook page

Whether it’s 3 or 30, personally invite your friends to like the POST Facebook page so they can learn how to spread awareness as well.

3.      Share how you’re celebrating by using hashtags #childhoodcancer #30days30ways and #POSTFL

Feel free to use these hashtags on both FacebookTwitter, and Instagram.

4.      Wear a gold ribbon all month

Pick up a gold ribbon from our office that you can rock throughout September.

6.      Switch your search engine to Goodsearch

Select POST as your cause on Goodsearch so that every time you make a search, funds go toward helping local children with cancer.

7.      Use GoodSearch to learn more or answer your questions

about childhood cancer, or someone else’s cancer

8.  Test your knowledge of childhood cancer

Even if you think don’t know much now, make this test a learning opportunity, and then spread your knowledge with others!

9.  Host a fundraiser for childhood cancer awareness month (Ex: for POST)

Fundraisers such as Penny Wars between grade levels or departments  are a great way to motivate people to participate.

10.  Have a “Gold Out” at work or school

Coordinate with your job or school so that employees or students can pay $3 to wear gold or jeans for a day instead of business attire or uniform.

11.  Give a gold ribbon to someone

and explain what it means.

12.  Use yellow/gold plastic cups on fences

Get creative by spelling out words with cups on a school or home fence. (Make sure to get permission before hanging these up.)

13.  Dress up for National Dress 4 Pediatric Cancer Day/Go Gold Day 

Check out the Go 4 the Goal website for more information.
