Wednesday (October 9) is Kick Cancer's Butt Day and we're asking YOU to take action to give cancer the butt-kicking it deserves!

Our mission is to take action together to raise funds to support ALL kids fighting cancer, to show them and their families that they are not alone in their fight to beat this terrible disease.

And a group of awesome supporters will MATCH ALL DONATIONS received Wednesday (October 9), to the value of $800,000!

So, that means ANY online donation YOU receive or bank at ANY time Wednesday (October 9) will be matched and added to your online fundraising page (within 24 hours). You can even donate to yourself.

To learn more about the matching offer, click here.

Plus, the matched donations WILL count towards your personal fundraising tally to qualify for a FREE GCC jersey or Hero jersey!

Here are the best ways to take action to kick cancer's butt:

1. Send our Kick Cancer's Butt Day email template

Login to your dashboard on Wednesday and you'll see our Kick Cancer's Butt Day pre-written email template that you can send to your friends, family and colleagues to tell them about the matched funding offer and ask for their support.

Simply select the template, add your friends and send... easy.

2. Post this update on Facebook

Post 2-3 updates on Facebook and / or Instagram throughout the day to tell your friends about Kick Cancer's Butt Day and update them on your progress. Remember, not all your contacts see all your posts, so you need to post 2-3 updates throughout the day to spread the word and encourage your friends to support your challenge.

Here is a sample post below:
