Overview

Mission

Support children diagnosed with pediatric cancer through ongoing awareness campaign via social media to increase awareness of pediatric cancer and networking with other organizations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our 2025 social media strategy was designed specifically to reach beyond our existing donor base and inform a broader, unaware public: September Instagram Surge: Our focused month of advocacy reached 6,358 individuals, with an impressive 34% of that audience being non-followers. This highlights our ability to break through the digital noise and educate a brand-new demographic on the pediatric funding crisis. Facebook Outreach: Facebook served as a vital tool for new audience acquisition. During our peak month, the platform reached 356 viewers-the highest of our calendar year-with 33.4% of those being non-followers. The high percentage of non-followers across both platforms (34% on Instagram and 33.4% on Facebook) proves that our message is traveling further than ever before, bringing new supporters into the fold at a time when federal research funding faces unprecedented cuts.
