 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! |

 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. |
Polling data has indicated that public awareness of
Scurvy Day is
wedged somewhere below "Chocolate Day" (July 7th) and slightly above
"Shamu the Whale Day" (September 26th).
