Hello Reader! Key the Raccoon here!

Welcome back! This week we’re debating whether or not you should have digital marketing volunteers, sharing a tool to simplify events and increase donations, and about a man who’s run daily marathons to fundraise for childhood cancer.

πŸ“¬ Summary

This week, we’re diving deep into these topics. 🌟

πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ One Challenge – Volunteer social media positions – a hassle or a help?
​
πŸš€ One Tool – Streamline events with Eventbrite
​
🌟 One Story – Running to end childhood cancer

πŸ” One Problem – Do any of you have a volunteer social media or digital media coordinator position?

Considering a volunteer social media or digital media coordinator for your nonprofit? This role can significantly impact your organization’s online presence, driving engagement and awareness. However, it’s important to weigh both the benefits and the challenges.

Pros

  1. Cost-effective resource: Utilize passionate volunteers without straining your budget.
  2. Fresh perspectives: Volunteers often bring new ideas and energy.
  3. Increased online presence: More hands on deck means more content and engagement.

🚩

πŸ… One Highlight

Team Key is excited to share Jon Nabbs’ monumental journey, echoing the courageous spirit of Terry Fox, to conquer running across Canada for a cause close to his heart. With his relentless strides from St. John’s to Vancouver, over 300 days, he’s run daily marathons, fundraising for childhood cancer, exceeding his initial $60,000 goal.

Nabbs’ mission, fueled by the loving memory of his parents, reminds us of the impact of individual determination. His story is a testament to the belief that one person’s resolve can indeed make a huge difference.
