Message from Paul Abramson of SolarKal:
|
On the evening of Thursday, May 31st, I will be representing SolarKal in the North Jersey 5K Corporate Fun Run -- 3.1 miles to benefit "
Tackle Kids Cancer". I ran in the race last year and it was great -- part of the race is on the actual horse track which was pretty cool.
Tackle Kids Cancer raises funds for pediatric cancer research. Only 4% of federal cancer research funding goes to pediatric cancer. Funds raised through the race stay at the Children's Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health. To date, Tackle Kids Cancer has raised over $5.5 million from more than 14,000 supporters.
One of the most notable partners of Tackle Kids Cancer is the New York Giants, with Eli Manning as the spokesman -- you may have seen ads on TV for "TKC".
I am requesting that family, friends and business associates
support me in this year's race for with a donation of $31 (based on 3.1 miles) or multiples of $31 ($62, $93, $124, etc.). 100% of your donation will go to Tackle Kids Cancer and their life-saving research and patient care.
Would you like to help wipe out pediatric cancer? If you'd like to donate, please visit my fundraising page linked below or
mail me a check made out to "Hackensack UMC Foundation". My mailing address is 211 Miln Street, Cranford, NJ, 07016.
If you'd also like to run/walk, contact me at 917-226-2595 and I will give you registration information. The cost is $40 and includes a t-shirt.
Thank you for your help -- your donation is, of course, fully tax deductible and you will be contributing to a great cause!

Upcoming Social Media Marketing Seminars
From KUSBDC:
|
Marketing Certificate Series:
Digital Marketing is a fast-paced, competitive environment. It includes all your digital resources like websites, social media channels and email lists. For small business owners it is both challenging to stay on top of and a economically feasible way to promote their brand. There are two things you need to do to make your promotions successful. First, you need a clearly defined strategy with measurable results. Second, you need a website that delivers a very clear message and a strong call-to-action.
Small Business Owners say that 90% of their customers come from word-of-mouth and referral. So how do you find these customers and keep them coming back? This seminar will help you produce the content you need to promote your business and to effectively distribute this content to your most important contacts - your customers.
Get ready to take your social media skills to the next level. Get the answers you've been looking for to grow your business.
