The Sacramento Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) has ongoing opportunities in media to help raise awareness and educate the public about pancreatic cancer, the November Awareness Month, our major fundraising walk called PurpleStride Sacramento, upcoming local events and more.
Here are some areas we can use some help and guidance in:
- Adding events like our PurpleStride Sacramento to various online community calendars (we have logins and will provide details, images or video links)
- Contacting local radio stations or newspapers for media sponsorship of PurpleStride Sacramento
- Sending press releases to local newspapers and media outlets for PurpleStride and November Awareness Month (we have templates to make this easy)
- Help with updating our media list for the Sacramento area
- Outreach to Sacramento Bee and other local media to pitch a human interest story for November Awareness and PurpleStride
- Helping us with a media strategy for PurpleStride and November Awareness
PurpleStride is the walk to end pancreatic cancer and is among the largest sources of funding for PanCAN while raising awareness and creating a community among those affected by this disease. PurpleStride Sacramento 2020 is Saturday, November 14th at William Land Park and we anticipate over 1,200 participants this year! Visit our event site at http://purplestride.org/sacramento.
Please reach out if you are interested in any of these areas as we will gladly accept your assistance to help us raise awareness about pancreatic cancer in the Sacramento area.
