What You’ll Find on the 3-Day Pinterest Page

Pinterest is a constantly updating source of fun, ideas, and support all year long. As part of our social media community, it’s a platform we love sharing ideas and memories on to keep the 3-Day spirit of love going the whole year long. If you haven’t checked out our Pinterest page, now is the time. Here are just a few of the things you will find on our boards…

Fundraising Ideas

You probably already know that your coaches, fellow teammates, and this blog are great sources of fundraising ideas, but we also have even more fundraising ideas on Pinterest! You can never have too many sources for inspiration, and our Pinterest page is especially great for craft and culinary ideas. Feel free to tag us in your favorite pins on Pinterest as well, to let us know when you see any ideas you love online.

Inspiration

From quotes that will lift you up when you need a motivating boost, to The ABC’s of the 3-Day, if you’re trying to show a future teammate just why this cause means so much to you, we have it on our boards. We work to keep you inspired all year long, because you keep us inspired each and every day!

A Fashion Show

Need ideas for your 3-Day outfits? Want to wear something extra fun on your next training walk? Check out our Best Dressed board for inspiration – and some laughs! There is lots of pink style there to make you smile.

Knowledge

We share Breast Cancer Facts, many of them directly from Susan G. Komen, to keep you informed and provide you with information that you can use in your fundraising letters. There are also facts and infographics about healthy eating, stretching and more, to make sure you are training safely and effectively.

Memories

After every event, we add some of our favorite photos to our Pinterest page, organized by event city. That makes it easy for you to bask in the memories of 3-Days past, and remember the magic of the Pink Bubble. We also have special boards to share The 3-Day Experience and memories of our amazing crew!

Motivation Monday: Making the Small Wins Count

Happy Monday! Though it might not be everyone’s favorite day of the week, Monday has an important spot in our lives. It’s a fresh start, and a chance for all of us to make the most of the new week. What could we accomplish?

Maybe, make a new fundraising project?

Or use our favorite tunes to fuel an extra-long training walk for the 3-Day?

Share a memory with your 3-Day family?

Or join them online to start working your way to great prizes?

Maybe you do all that in one day!

Sometimes though, despite our best intentions, the days get away from us and sometimes things go wrong. We might miss a deadline or burn breakfast or run late to an appointment. On tough days, especially on tough Mondays, it’s also important to celebrate life’s little wins.

Happy moments can come upon you when you least expect it, and they are definitely worth celebrating.

So, celebrate the next time you…

Run into an old friend

Wake up on the right side of the bed after a great night’s sleep

Get a compliment from a stranger

Make everyone at the meeting laugh with your new joke

Decide to treat yourself to some comfort food

Get that last open parking spot

See a butterfly, bunny, dog, cat, or any of your favorite animals

Climb to the top of the corporate ladder

Have a sweet snack in the middle of the afternoon

Find a perfectly ripe banana, avocado or peach

Catch up on your favorite TV show

Rock a bold new outfit

Finish a good book

Plan a fun family vacation

Or even show off your killer moves at a dance party!

Remember, the little wins count just as much as the big ones.

So, go out there and take Monday by storm! What are your goals for the week?

Spring Pinning

We’re adding fun, inspiring and informative pins to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Pinterest boards all the time. Below, see some highlights of what we’ve pinned so far this spring, and to see all of the tidbits we’ve collected from the far reaches of the internet, visit the Komen 3-Day Pinterest page at www.pinterest.com/the3day. On our Creative Fundraising board, we share ideas you can use to raise money for the 3-Day®. Silent auctions are a common fundraising strategy amongst 3-Dayers, and here, we found some terrific ideas for themed baskets you can auction or sell. We have an entire board with Portraits of Inspiration, images that we’ve found and we hope will inspire you too with their beauty. This shot of lovely pink fall leaves was, oddly enough, one of our favorite images from this spring. The Happy & Healthy board is where we pin the great health/wellness/fitness finds we discover, like this brilliant list of ways to incorporate more water into your daily nutritional regimen. If there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s quotes. Well, we love them too, so we pin regularly to our Quotable Quotes board. Pinterest is a great site for education, as well as inspiration, so we share facts and statistics we find on our Breast Cancer Facts board. This one definitely inspires. Remember to follow the 3-Day on Pinterest so you never miss the new and exciting morsels we pin every week.
