Introducing #WeAreThe3Day

One of the most inspiring and heartwarming aspects of the 3-Day community is that each walker, crew member and supporter has a story. The reasons they walk, the connections they have made, the experiences that the 3-Day has given them—all of these small pieces make the 3-Day family a beautiful patchwork of unforgettable celebrations.

As beautiful as the full 3-Day “quilt” is, there is also so much to be gained by taking a closer look at the individual squares that make it up.

This is where #WeAreThe3Day comes in.

This hashtag is a way for us to share stories and remember the things that join us together while celebrating the things that make us unique.

We are the 3-Day, and we want to hear from you!

When we gather and share a little corner of the world for 3 days at a time, we get to know each other as much and as well as we can. Our goal is to share some of your stories with our whole online 3-Day family. But it’s impossible for us to meet and share with everyone. That’s where you come in.

Send us a little piece of you.

Tell us something about you and your connection with breast cancer and the 3-Day.

Something that stands out, that makes you you.

Something about you that a fellow 3-Dayer might see out on event and ask, “What’s the story there?”

Or, something that wouldn’t be obvious at all from the outside, but can only be learned by talking to you.

Send an email to blog@The3Day.org with “#WeAreThe3Day” in the subject line. Attach one or two hi-res photos from a 3-Day event, and share something about yourself or your team.

If you need a little inspiration, take a look at some of the #WeAreThe3Day posts we’ve already shared.

We’ll be posting your stories with #WeAreThe3Day on Facebook, Twitter and here on the blog in the months to come.

Bring Your Besties to the 3-Day

With Mother’s Day less than a week away, we remember the mothers, sisters, grandmothers and friends lost to breast cancer. We walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® so that our daughters and granddaughters may not have to face this disease.

In honor of women everywhere this Mother’s Day, we want to help your friends and family experience their very first Komen 3-Day.

The life-changing 3-Day® journey is hard to describe: the community of kindness, strangers who become life-long friends. It’s the “3-Day Bubble,” where for three days the world is as it should be. It’s something that everyone should experience first-hand.

Share this transformative journey with your loved ones. Invite your sister from across the country, your dad back home, your BESTIES a state away. And for each first-time walker you invite, we will cover the travel costs necessary for them to join you!

Invite friends who are brand new to the 3-Day® to register to walk with you by May 9 with the code BYB16 and we’ll fly them to the event and give them a $10 discount off their registration fee. Go to The3Day.org/Bestie for all of the details.

Help us spread the word now. Share it with your friends and your family. Why? Because we walk for them, and we walk for you.

150 Words That Describe the 3-Day Community

The 3-Day is in its final days of an exciting registration offer where all walkers who register between April 5 and May 2 will receive $150 in their 3-Day fundraising account, courtesy of a new 3-Day sponsorship. To show just how much we love and appreciate ALL of our 3-Day walkers, crew members and supporters, we’ve come up with 150 words that describe the 3-Day and its community. Hope we didn’t miss anything!150 word cloud
