Wednesday (August 14) is Kick Cancer's Butt Day!

Our mission is to take action together to raise funds to support ALL kids fighting cancer to show them and their families that they are not alone in their fight to beat this terrible disease.

And our wonderful supporters, the Garron Family, will MATCH ALL DONATIONS received Wednesday (August 14), to the value of $1,300,000!

So, that means ANY online donation YOU receive on Kick Cancer's Butt Day will be matched and added to your online fundraising page (within 24 hours). You can even sponsor yourself.

To learn more about the matching offer, click here.

Plus, the matched donations WILL count towards your personal fundraising tally to qualify for a FREE GCC jersey or Hero jersey, or All-Star jersey!

Here are the best ways to take action on Wednesday (August 14) to kick cancer's butt:

1. Send an email template

Login to your GCC Dashboard to use our Kick Cancer's Butt Day pre-written email template and send to your friends, family and colleagues to tell them about the matched funding offer and ask for their support.

Simply select the template, add your friends and send... easy.

2. Post updates on SOCIAL MEDIA

Post 2-3 updates on Facebook, Instagram and / or LinkedIn throughout the day to tell your friends about Kick Cancer's Butt Day and update them on your progress. Remember, not all your contacts see all your posts, so you need to post 2-3 updates throughout the day to spread the word and encourage your friends to support your challenge.
