MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: #PURPLEOURWORLD
#PurpleOurWorld was founded in October 2014 in Australia, just weeks before the first World Pancreatic Cancer Day.

WPCD: 2 WEEKS TO GO!
It's hard to believe World Pancreatic Cancer Day (WPCD) will be here in just two weeks! Take advantage of the time and get prepared. First, the October webinar about how to make your WPCD great has much useful information, and you can watch the video if you missed it. Also, here are five things you can do now to prepare for Nov. 21.
1. Promote and share the Alex Trebek Public Service Announcement (PSA) and the "Silent Symptoms" video, which is available in 14 languages
- Reminder: Alex Trebek's PSA will also air during JEOPARDY! on Thursday, Nov. 21 (check local listings for showtimes and stations)
2. Engage with WPCD social media channels and content (like, share, RT, etc.)
- Twitter/Instagram: @worldpancreatic
- Facebook: @worldpancreaticcancerday
3. Promote and share the 2019 WPCD animated social graphics
4. Use the approved hashtags and tag WPCD:
- #WPCD
- #DemandBetter
- #PancreaticCancer
- #WorldPancreaticCancerDay
5. Send us your stories, photos, videos, and news:
As a reminder, there is a minimum commitment for Coalition members to share a single post on WPCD. We recommend posting either the Alex Trebek PSA, "Silent Symptoms" video, or one of the four animated social graphics (yellowish eyes, unexplained weight loss, stomach pain, back pain. |
