Join us TOMORROW for a Recruitment Twitter Chat

With less than six months to go until the first 3-Day of the season, we wanted to get everyone virtually together to chat about recruiting new team members.

Join us TOMORROW, Wednesday, April 5 at 6:00 p.m. PST (that’s 7:00 p.m. MT, 8:00 p.m. CT, and 9:00 p.m. EST) for an hour-long tweet chat all about the best ways to recruit your friends, family, and maybe even some strangers to walk 60 miles with you at the 3-Day.

Can you help us spread the word? Even if you can’t join us (Darn! Don’t worry, we’ll post on the blog after with some of our favorite tweets), we’d love your help letting other 3-Day participants know. You can click here to tweet, or copy and paste this into Twitter or Facebook:

Never done a Tweet Chat before? That’s okay! Some people call them Twitter Parties or Twitter Meet-Ups, but whatever the name, it works like this:

Sign on to Twitter at 6:00 p.m. PST tomorrow (or a few minutes before).
Make sure you’re following @The3Dayon Twitter.
On Twitter, search for #The3Day, which is the official hashtag we will use for this Tweet Chat.
You can also use the website com. Sign in, enter the hashtag #The3Day, and you’ll be able to watch and tweet in real-time with us.
We’ll ask some questions to get things started, and we will also share tips and tricks from 3-Day veterans and coaches. This will be a great way to meet your fellow 3-Day participants, ask your questions, and motivate yourself to get ready for your 3-Day adventure. Our 3-Day Social Media Team, Alyssa and Kaleigh, also can’t wait to tweet with you!

Not on Twitter yet? Here are a few quick tips to get you started:

It’s free and easy to join at Twitter.com.
Go to com/The3Day and click “Follow” to make sure our messages show up in your feed.
A hashtag is a way to “file” tweets and collect them under a certain topic, so you’ll be able to see everything everyone is tweeting under this hashtag. Just search for #the3day in Twitter and you’ll be able to see everyone’s messages about the 3-Day, not just ours. Capitalization isn’t necessary, but spelling is!
When writing your own messages, keep in mind that tweets can only be 140 characters at a time, so it’s best to keep things short n’ sweet.

Can wait to tweet and chat away with you all tomorrow night!

We are now less than six months away from the first 3-Day of 2017, so it’s time to kick your training, recruiting and fundraising into high gear! When you’re reaching out to people for donations, or to ask them to walk with you, it’s natural that people might have questions about the impact of the 3-Day.

Luckily, Susan G. Komen has created new infographics that make it easy to answer these questions, and to learn more about the cause you are working so hard for. You can see the full range of infographics on the 3 Day website, or easily download some of the newest additions below.

These are eye-catching and to-the-point breakdowns to motivate you, and those around you, to continue working and walking towards a cure.

Gotcha!

Did you believe our April Fool’s Day jokes? Don’t worry! We won’t ask you to walk another 60 miles, and (sadly) can’t let you cruise around on a Segway for your 3-Day experience this year. We just wanted to share a joke, give a smile, and start your April off right.

If you spotted the joke, high five! You’re a smarty! Feel free to share around to your team members from the 3-Day, or other people who need a grin.
