Social Media Making the World a Better Place – One Pink Tab at a Time
Social Media is a powerful tool used by businesses to brand and promote their products and by everyday people to share life events, photos and to keep in touch with friends and family. Social media brings people closer together and it’s doing so now in a unique and wonderful way.
You may have noticed numerous distinguished social media fan pages have a wonderful pink tab that says “Prize Draw”. This is the brainchild of Clive Jones of Gold Star Media with the support of Denys Kelley of Kelley Pro Media. If you click on the tab, you are taken to Heidi’s Heroes where you can read Heidi’s story about her cancer battle. At the end, you are encouraged to make a $10 donation to the American Cancer Society – Making Strides and will be entered into a raffle for some incredible prizes.

Why is Guild West Agency writing about Heidi’s Heroes? Because I am the Heidi of Heidi’s Heroes. Late in 2008, I jumped on the social media bandwagon and decided it was time to master social media. Did I mention I was battling invasive breast cancer at the time?
This effort by so many incredible social media experts shows social media at its best. Jen Walker of Be A Top Producer Tweeted to countless famous people asking them to share the word and encourage people to donate to the American Cancer Society Making Strides for Heidi’s Heroes. Several people actually re-tweeted.
If you are interested in participating and adding the pink “Prize Draw” tab to your Facebook Fan Page, please contact Clive Jones of Gold Star Media or feel free to message me and I will make it happen.
To every one of you who has supported Heidi’s Heroes, I would like to personally thank you. Together, we can make the world a better place with the power of social media to find a cure for cancer.

Fantastic article, Heidi! I am absolutely amazed at your passion to help fight breast cancer. I am also completely thrilled that so many people have come together through social media to help your efforts. You go, girl!
Robin, your support means a great deal to me. Your GENEROSITY know’s no bound and I can’t thank you enough for everything!
It has been a pleasure to help to get this social! There are some wonderful people that are supporting YOU. It’s a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that we can all pull together to make a difference! Whoo woo!
Denys your generosity with your time and talents I greatly appreciated and then you donated as well…I am blown away! Thank you for supporting #HeidisHeroes <3
Hey Denys – I couldn’t have done it without you and Clive. You both inspire me. Thank you!
Got it <3
Amazing story, I am so glad I hear about it through Robin! I am interested in offering a prize and contacted you and Clive. I am so happy to be able to help 🙂
Thank you so much Delia! We are thrilled with your incredible donation.
This is great, Heidi. Not the part about you getting cancer, but the part about helping others with cancer. I’ve had several friends in the last few years that were diagnosed with various forms of cancer. It breaks my heart. Both my husband and I already support cancer research—we just want our friends to keep fighting. We want to erase cancer from our world. Let’s hope it is someday soon.
Social media has its good and bad points. This sure is one good reason for social media. To help others.Thanks for this post.
Thank you for your support Linda. It’s an important fight that many of us are involved in. Together I’m sure we can do it! It’s time to end cancer.
It was my pleasure Heidi. Thank You for the should out.
I wish I had known earlier,
Roz Fruchtman
Thank you so much for your support Roz!
