Ulcer Awareness Week Campaigns
Implementing Local Ulcer Awareness Week Campaigns
This Planner's Kit has been created to help your organization implement an Ulcer Awareness Week campaign in your community. Once your organization has developed a game plan to implement Ulcer Awareness Week, you can use the information in this kit to implement a tailored, meaningful campaign in your community.
We have included ideas for non-traditional events, educational opportunities, and lists of potential partners in this Planner's Kit to help you develop your strategy for promoting Ulcer Awareness Week. These suggested activities would target ulcer sufferers in locations where they frequent and be receptive to the campaign messages.
Community-based activities and events are an excellent way to raise awareness about ulcer disease. You might consider tying in Ulcer Awareness Week activities to other events scheduled in your community. With more time, you can even plan your own event to publicize Ulcer Awareness Week. Regardless of the amount of time you are able to commit to Ulcer Awareness Week, your efforts are instrumental in ensuring the success of the campaign.
