Spread the word on Scurvy prevention
by Celebrating on May 2nd!The best way to get the word out is by
celebrating, and International Scurvy Awareness Day is a great reason to
throw a party. Why not call up some friends, mix up some
margaritas, serve up some daiquiris and celebrate the gift of good
health?
But don't stop there!
On May 2nd, reach out to the community and
make sure they know about International Scurvy Awareness Day.
Here are some ideas on how to get started:
 |
Call into
your local radio stations and remind them that May 2nd is International
Scurvy Awareness Day!It's an easy way to reach hundreds
of thousands of people all at once and might even score you
a free T-Shirt or beverage holder emblazoned with the station
call letters! (Flirt with the host a little and you
mind even end up walking away with some free tickets, too!) |
 |
If
you are on a College campus, set up a booth and hand out
free citrus to your scurvy brethren!Plus, talk
to your Academic advisor - Organizing and implementing a
community outreach program (even for just one day a year)
can often be submitted as course equivalency for an easy
Elective Course Credit! I actually know a guy who
pulled this off organizing an event over the summer break,
earning him 3 hours of credit with an "A" grade. |
 |
Do
you maintain
a Blog, a website, or even a MySpace page?
Then consider publishing a link to
http://www.limestrong.com or one of our free banners
from the downloads page so that your visitors will know that you support the green! |
 |
Wear
Green on May 2nd!
Throw on a lime
green shirt, blouse or necktie and wear it to the office. When you
get there tell your co-workers that you are doing it to
support a cause! You will be idolized by
your peers as the type of person who is not only stylish,
but also willing to go out of his way to help others.
That's the kind of energetic go-getter that ends up
getting the corner office and the company car... |
 |
Nothing gets
someone's attention faster than free food!Instead of the usual
Donuts, why not stop off at
the grocery store on the way to work and pick up a Key Lime
Pie, or mini-tarts, or lemon squares for the company break room.
DID YOU KNOW:
There are actually fewer calories in the average slice of
Key Lime pie than in a Krispy Kreme donut! There are 175
calories in the average Key Lime pie slice vs. over 200
calories in each donut! |
 |
Own
a Bar or Restaurant? Then throw a Scurvy Awareness Day
Promotion on May 2nd!
Add a special on the menu for Verde or Green Sauce
Enchiladas or offer Key Lime pie for dessert! I
guarantee it'll boost your Margarita and Daiquiri sales, and
then you can sit back and watch the sales metrics skyrocket!
Be sure to let us know about the event and we'll even give
your event free ad space on the
LimeStrong.com website! |

We
need Graphic Designers!
Are you a graphic designer? How about donating some
some of awesome talent to help create International Scurvy Awareness Day themed desktop
images?
We are always in desperate need of new and innovative
ways to get the word out about Scurvy Awareness Day - and
your skills are just what we need to do it! We need
Desktops, Posters, Commercials - anything that'll remind
people to think of Scurvy Prevention on May 2nd! |

Scurvy
Day Song?
If you can write music, how about putting together an
"International Scurvy Awareness Day Anthem"?
We tried to come up with something on our own awhile back, but halfway
through it we got distracted by "Guitar Hero" and never got
anything put down on paper.
Of course, the group that submits the winning selection will get full
credit for it, but if anyone can talk Green Day or
Jimmy Buffet into performing it I will personally buy you
free beer until you pass out. |
 |
Looking
for an easier way to help?
Maybe you are looking for
a way to help the cause but requires the minimal possible amount of effort? No problem!
How about just sending a quick email to a friend or two with a link to www.LimeStrong.com?
Then they can come and learn about Scurvy Day on their own,
leaving you to can sit
back and bask in the knowledge that you have given the gift of non-bleeding
gums to someone important in your life. |

are doing to Celebrate!
