Hey Extra Lifers! Game day is fast approaching - Here are some ways to utilize social media to increase your fundraising: The best tip I can give you is: Update early and update often! The average life of a tweet is 20 minutes, and no one fully understands how Facebook decides which of your friends get to see things. Also, statistically is takes someone seeing your appeal 3 times before they’ll take action. Copy, paste, and customize these sample posts across all of your networks- Let the games begin! I am playing games for 24 hours and raising money for #BaystateChildrensHospital donate now at <insert fundraising URL> Who wants to say-what-I’ll-play?

You have to ask, it’s part of being an Extra Lifer. You put yourself out there and some people might ignore you, but if you ask enough, you just might make miracles happen. Thank you for helping kids live better.
