World Cancer Day Thunderclap campaign launches

The World Cancer Day Thunderclap campaign has officially kicked off.  

We are rallying all UICC members to get behind the campaign so we can reach our goal of at least 1,00 supporters to ensure the World Cancer Day message goes live on 4 February, 2018. 

Sign up your support.

Last year, 1,076 incredible supporters - including UICC members: LIVESTRONG, MAKNA Malaysia, NCI Global Health, Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, WCRF International and so many more -  lent us their social media voice and helped to reach over 7.8 million people across Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. 

Anyone and any organisation with a Facebook, Twitter and/or Tumblr account can sign up until 4 February, 10am CET. And, once you have signed up, you are lined up and ready to go with your social media posts for World Cancer Day. 

Importantly, by signing up, you will be joining members and supporters all around the world to post the same World Cancer Day message on the same day and at the same time – creating a powerful impact on social media that will get noticed everywhere.

Still not sure what Thunderclap is all about. Find out more in our FAQs
