Take the ACS #LaptopLipSync challenge

Have fun lip synching your favorite song while raising money for ACS

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down. What it has not changed, however, is our commitment to attacking cancer from all angles.

Is social distancing making you a little stir crazy? Want to do something fun, entertain others, and support ACS? If so, our #LaptopLipSync challenge is for you!

Choose your favorite song to sing, maybe round up a few accessories, and then create a short video to post on social media. Have fun, let go! The point is to spark joy and encourage optimism, all while raising money for the American Cancer Society. 

When posting your video, use the hashtag #LaptopLipSync, tag 3-5 friends/colleagues and challenge them to create their own videos, and encourage those watching to make a donation on the American Cancer Society GoFundMe page.

A big shout out to our North Central Region for coming up with idea for the #LaptopLipSync challenge and launching it locally with great success! If you have a creative fundraising idea of your own, please submit it to ACSeventsolutions@cancer.org.

These folks have already created videos. Watch and get inspired!
