Calling all social media mavens! You can harness the power of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and other social platforms to spread the word about your lemonade stand and join the fight against childhood cancer. Social media is such a great way to announce your event, invite your community, raise funds and tell everyone about how you are helping cure cancer, one cup at a time! 
 
1.  Share your fundraising page on social media. Have family and friends from out of town that can’t make it to your lemonade stand? Share your fundraising page with your network and have loved ones donate online. 

2.  Change your Facebook profile picture frame. Show your Facebook friends you’re fighting childhood cancer by choosing from two frames that highlight Lemonade Days! We have a quick how-to video for you to use. Changing your picture frame takes just 2 minutes! 

3. Tag Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.  I see it all! When you tag us on social media, I can like and comment as Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Plus, you help me by giving me great content that I might be able to share on our ALSF social media pages (more about that below).

4. Share ALSF content. We post every day about heroes, campaigns, research and lots of other ways to get involved. If you see a post (because we know you already follow us ;)) share, like or comment to help explain our mission to your followers. 

5. Check out our blog, Hero Hub and YouTube Channel.  You can also share blogs, hero stories and videos from our website! Our blog is filled with inspirational and informational stories, including in-depth research profiles and explanations about how treatments work. Our childhood cancer Hero Hub is filled with stories of amazing kids fighting for a cure! And of course, our YouTube page holds videos that help with lemonade stands, explain critical research and tell stories of childhood cancer heroes.

6.  Be featured on our pages. Take photos at your lemonade stand, tag @AlexsLemonade and use #LemonadeDays and you could be featured on our social media pages! You can also send photos to your event coach after your stand who can forward them to me so I can give you a shout out for your hard work and dedication!

See you on Social!
