Use your social channels to empower fans and followers to take action – and share that action – in support of the American Red Cross. On #GivingTuesday, promote the need for financial support or blood donations on social media and offer to provide a dollar match for every time the post is shared. Be sure to work with your Red Cross relationship manager to execute the proper agreement for a social fundraising campaign.
Encourage fans, followers and/or employees to donate, volunteer with their Red Cross chapter, give blood or take a CPR class….and share it on social media with the #GiveWithMeaning hashtag.
You can tweet to the @RedCross account as well - our digital communities love seeing your support. Tweet in any way you feel aligns with our mission, or you can post messages similar to these:
