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.
Last fall, Susan G. Komen® announced a new Bold Goal to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the U.S. by 2026. Now, we need your help to recruit new walkers to the 3-Day, so we can make this Bold Goal a reality. In return, you can experience a VIP slumber party that will give you and your friends an extra special 3-Day adventure.
Have we piqued your interest? Here’s how it works! If you recruit two first-time walkers by April 19 to join you on the 3-Day, we’ll arrange for you to have a VIP slumber party together on the event, complete with a large tent that sleeps up to four people, complete with air mattresses, pillows and phone chargers, plus souvenir pajama pants for you to keep.
Or, if you don’t want to stay at camp, you can choose a reward of two free nights at a 3-Day host hotel for the Friday and Saturday of the event, instead of the slumber party.
Get started by registering for the 3-Day now, then go straight to The3Day.org/Refer for more details, and to get your personal recruitment link and ID. You’ll need these to start recruiting those first-time walkers to register.
But, wait, there’s more! If the first-time walkers you are recruiting live outside one of our 3-Day markets, they’ll get a free plane ticket if they register by April 19 with discount code BYB17. Visit The3Day.org/Bestie for more information about that offer.
If you need more reasons to refer a friend, and recruit new ones to the 3-Day, we have some pretty compelling spelling to show you the way.
R … is for Resting comfortably on a poofy air mattress. You’ll feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud!
E … is for Extra. As in, extra laughs with your friends, extra comfort in your tent, and lots of extra fun!
F … is for Free nights in a hotel, if you decide glamping 3-Day style isn’t your thing.
E … is for Exclusive, like the extra exclusive 3-Day pajama pants you’ll be lounging in.
R… is for “Really? What are you waiting for?” Recruit a friend and starting planning your 3-Day now!
We know this Bold Goal is going to take everything we have and we can’t do it alone. Every step, every mile, every dollar makes an impact. Bring a friend to the 3-Day this year and you’ll help Komen achieve their Bold Goal. You will be More Than Pink™.
March is Women’s History Month, and we have a lot to celebrate! Did you know that without women we wouldn’t have fire escapes (Anna Connelly in 1887) or computer programming (Grace Hopper in 1944)? Not to mention that Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics and Chemistry for her groundbreaking work, and less than fifty years later Sri Lankan stateswoman Sirimavo R.D. Bandaranaike made history, becoming the world’s first woman prime minister. Women can, and continue to rise.
In the spirit of these awesome women, and awesome women everywhere, especially those who walk, crew, and volunteer at the 3-Day, we are proud to celebrate this month.
We have some serious motivation for you this March Monday in the form of quotes about strength, love, happiness, and making a difference from some very strong women.
