© 2014 GMR
Make October Last All Year LongDedicate your daily run, walk, bike or swim to a survivor and share it with the hash tag #LaceUp365 on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Together we can make October last all year long.
Users were directed to the www.newbalance.com/laceup website where they could sign up to be part of the “Pink Laces Club”. Once they joined, we sent each member a welcome post card along with a complimentary pair of pink shoe laces. They received additional giveaways throughout the year (training journals, ear buds, etc.). Additionally, survivors could go to the website and nominate themselves to be a survivor of the day by sharing their story.
