We are now less than six months away from the first 3-Day of 2018, 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 asking 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. They show the latest and greatest of all the work the 3-Day does, and how you are helping us reach Komen’s Bold Goal.

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

Did you believe our April Fool’s Day jokes? Don’t worry! We won’t make you sail your way through 60 miles and (sadly) won’t be able to have your 3-Day dinners delivered by drone 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.

Another April Fool’s Day prank to share? See if people will believe that we’re having the 3-Day by sea this year! Don’t worry, we’ll be walking as usual, but it could give someone a laugh 🙂
