As you may have heard, on Tuesday, May 2, we’re launching #JCCABlueDay! It’s a day to raise money, build awareness, and engage with our community to support the amazing work we do at JCCA.  The more participation we have, the more successful it will be—and that’s where you come in.

On Tuesday, May 2, wear JCCA gear or anything in the color blue AND post and share #JCCABlueDay content with your social network to get the word out about what JCCA means to you. You can share a story about your work, a link to your program, or even the fundraising page. Every post will make a difference!

Below you’ll find sample posts that you can paste right into your social media channels or customize however you like. You’ll also find prompts that invite you and your colleagues to share about what you do each day at JCCA and what inspires you to do it. While this kit aims to make things easy, your personal touch makes the difference.

You’re welcome to encourage your followers to donate and link to our Blue Day page, but there is no pressure to mention fundraising at all. Simply telling your followers about the work we do and the people we serve is a huge help. Just remember to use the hashtag #JCCABlueDay in all posts.
