2024 Amanda Hichkad CCA Celebration Walk Resource Page
We want our 2024 Walk captains, participants, donors and volunteers to be set up for success when they are recruiting, speaking, and advocating about the Amanda Hichkad CCA Celebration Walk and Cancer LifeNet to friends and family members. That is why we created a resource page, where you can find information about Cancer LifeNet, the Walk, sharable statistics, links to our social media pages and much more!

Samples of Social Media/Participant Center Posts:
The best way to get donations is to craft an engaging message for your social media account or participant center. That way, when your friends, family and colleagues see your post or go to your page on the website, they will know what you are fundraising for and how they can help. Here are a few samples below to help inspire you! These are just examples, so make it personal as to why YOU are walking.
Sample Copy for Facebook/Participant Center:
“Hello Facebook Friends! This year, I am participating in the 2024 Amanda Hichkad Celebration Walk, taking place on Saturday, May 11th, 2024. The proceeds from this Walk provide critical funds for Cancer LifeNet at the Patricia D. & M. Scot Kaufman Cancer Center at UM Upper Chesapeake Health. Cancer LifeNet provides nearly 300 unique programs and services to over 2,000 Harford and Cecil County residents annually. The services are entirely free of charge and are fully funded through philanthropic dollars from people just like you and me. I hope you can support me this year! #WHYIWALK”
