The Power of Social Media is Real
We use social media every day to check in on our favorite people, share the puppy photo that's too cute for words and post just one more image of mouth-watering food. It can be a powerful tool to spread any message you want to share. So why not use it to give your fundraising a boost? Here are some easy steps to up your fundraising game.

1. Get connected! Become friends with Elissa Oblath, Team Captain Coordinator for LACC help 24/7. Be sure to find us on Facebook for all the latest details and exclusive offers www.facebook.com/LACancerChallenge. And if you’re a team captain, sign up for our Team Captain Group where you can meet others and share your story.
2. Add to our Virtual Memory Wall! We know the emotional highlight of the LA Cancer Challenge is our Tribute Video and we’ve found a way to share all those photos the other 364 days of the year. Submit photos of a loved one you have lost to pancreatic cancer with a few words about them and why you participate in the LACC. We want to highlight your story. Email your photos and story to elissa@pancreatic.org.
3. Spread the word! Let people know how hard you are training (or not), fundraising and recruiting for your team. When they learn that you have convinced 20 friends to wear Smurfs costumes, your dedication to pancreatic cancer research will shine, and asking them to donate will be a piece of cake!
