Join Us for a Fundraising-Focused Facebook Meet-up!

Who says you have to be in the same room (or even the same time zone!) to have a fundraising brainstorm? On Tuesday, June 30 at 5:15 p.m. PDT (7:15 p.m. CDT, 8:15 p.m. EDT) we’ll be logging in to host our second 2015 Facebook Meet-Up! The topic du jour will be ways to maximize your fundraising for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day®. We’ll share ideas and spark conversation about how to inspire donors and stay motivated on your Komen 3-Day journey.

How does the 3-Day® Facebook meet-up work? On Tuesday the 30th, around 5:00 p.m., we’ll post a status update on our Facebook page that says something like this:

“Welcome to the 3-Day Facebook Meet-Up! We’ll be answering your questions and sharing tips, tricks and information in this status update in just a few minutes. Reply directly in the comments, and don’t forget to reply and chat with everyone else who joins!”

Your 3-Day social media whiz kids, Alyssa and Erin, will be asking questions and commenting back and forth with you as “The 3-Day.” Now what fun is it if nobody chats, right? Be sure to jump in and introduce yourself to other commenters and ask and answer questions, too. You may have to occasionally refresh the Facebook page to see the most recent comments, questions, and replies.

We’ll chat for an hour, and hope you’ll join us! Any questions? Let us know!

Thanks for Joining Our 3-Day Facebook Meet-Up!

On Tuesday, 2/24, we hosted our first ever Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Facebook Meet-Up! Similar to the Tweet Chats we’ve hosted before, the goal of the Facebook meet-up was to gather our fabulous Komen 3-Day family from every corner of the U.S., in one virtual location, for a lively Q&A.

We kicked things off with a single Facebook post, which our 3-Day® friends then replied to directly. We were so excited to see such a great turnout – over 70 participants, by our estimation—and all the outstanding tips, questions and encouragement we saw going around.

We saw inspiration from many of our fabulous first-time walkers…

…as well as from our remarkable returning walkers…

And we got some outstanding fundraising tips:
