For the past 3 years we have used April Fools Day to launch a social media blitz to raise awareness in the fight vs cancer. #CancersNoJoke started in 2011 with the help of Sarah Colonna and other influential comedians and continued last year with the support of Fran Drescher and numerous other celebrity supporters.

Reach Of Social Media…. To Help Save A Life

Well, with over 22 million unique impressions, it was a GREAT campaign…….see below...
