First Citizens Bank’s Post

Hi again friends and connections and Happy Dry July Eve. Last Tuesday I posted that I was participating in Dry July to raise funds to help people suffering from cancer. I set myself a (apparently too modest) target of $500 (AUD) for the month of July. Well, that target was passed on about 28 June, so I have had to revise my fundraising target – I now think that $1500 is achievable. With almost 2,000 connections between LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, I just need a hit rate of 10% of all of you to donate $5 (you can’t buy a drink for that anywhere), and then I’ll get to the $1,500 with room to spare. If you are donating in Euros, GB Pounds, or US Dollars, I’ll be happy with 3 (euro, GBP, USD). This is also a little bit of an experiment about the social medial algorithms. We know that posts don’t go to all our friends and connections, so improving the reach of this post is really important. A huge thankyou to the people who have already donated and also to those who have commented on and shared posts – you are putting these algorithms to work to help cancer sufferers. One final thing, in preparation for Dry July, I have abstained from alcohol this week, so I have done the hard part – breaking the habit. I’m sleeping better and my clothes are ‘not as firm’. A win/win situation.  If you want to get involved just go to this website www.dryjuly.com #cancer #dryjully #healthyhabits

Did you know? Many companies offer donation-matching programs for employees, retirees and even their spouses! Some boards you serve on might match your gifts too. In 2024, an amazing 58% of our donors participated in matching gift programs—that’s over half of you stepping up to maximize your impact! Together, you’re helping us fund critical research, raise awareness and provide educational programs and resources for the appendix cancer community. Matching your donation is a simple way to double—or even triple—your support for the fight against this rare disease. 💡 Check if your employer offers donation matching: https://lnkd.in/edPeRCB6 Have questions? Email us at donations@acpmp.org—we’re here to help!

That’s a high deductible to be met but if we all contribute anything, her deductible will be fully covered.
