BlinkJar Bears It All for Geaux Grizzly
Hello everyone! It's Jared Broussard from BlinkJar Media. This November, I’m participating in the Geaux Grizzly Campaign to raise funds for the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. Along with nine other men from Baton Rouge, we’re growing our beards to support cancer research and patient care.
Why am I growing a beard?
The beard is more than just a bit of facial hair—it’s a powerful symbol. Like many of us, I have numerous family and friends affected by various forms of cancer. At BlinkJar, our team has connections across the nation, each with their own stories of how cancer has touched their lives. Growing a beard for the month of November might seem like a small gesture, but it's our way of raising awareness and showing solidarity against a disease that impacts so many. Every whisker grown and every dollar raised this month goes towards making a difference in the lives of those battling cancer.
What’s the Geaux Grizzly Campaign?
It's about who can raise the most money for the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, with some beard-growing fun thrown in for good measure. The real winners are the patients and families who benefit from every dollar we raise.
Buzzworthy Beards at BlinkJar
At BlinkJar, we're known for generating buzz through our inbound marketing strategy, so naturally, we're bringing our A-game to a cause that matters. Given that I'm the only male in BlinkJar's Baton Rouge office, keeping the beard game strong falls squarely on my shoulders—no pressure, right? But don't worry, the suspense isn’t all on the beard front. Just wait until you see how our female team members at BlinkJar creatively and spiritedly step up to support the cause. Trust me, you're in for a real treat!
Celebrating Our Furry Friends
On my campaign page, you'll see our newest BarkJar family member, Winston. He's stepping up as our mini mascot to help launch this campaign. We know you love showcasing your pets too, so we encourage you to share a photo of your pet on our social media using #GeauxGrizzly2024. For every photo shared, BlinkJar will donate $10 to help fight cancer.
