How do you advertise upcoming events? We post the events on our website and we send out an Evite to all the young survivors on our email list since not everyone is on Facebook or Twitter. Sign up for our email list here.
How many people are at the events? Usually about a dozen young survivors are at an event. It’s a different mix of survivors every time. To date, we have over 100 young survivors in metro Atlanta on our email list.
How do I find you at the event? We tie a yellow balloon to our chair. We know it’s lame, but it works!
Can friends and family come to the events? No, but we do host several events throughout the year where caregivers are invited.
What if I don’t know anyone? No worries! None of us do. You’ll be surprised how quickly the conversation gets going when you arrive.
Do you talk about cancer the whole time? It’s hard to say since every event is different. Sometimes it’s all we talk about and sometimes it hardly comes up at all.
Are the events free? Some of our events are free. We're working on making them all free. We try to pick inexpensive locations, though, since everyone seems to be on a tight budget these days.
Where are the events located? We try our best to host our events in locations that are central to everyone. Right now that seems to be along the top end of I-285.
