THE GO GOLD CHALLENGE

Amazon 5000- For the Cure is excited to kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness month by going GOLD! The GOLD ribbon is the national symbol for childhood cancer awareness. For the entire month of September we are challenging YOU, our supporters and fans to hit the streets, get involved by showing us how you are going GOLD in your local community.

THE CHALLENGE -- if you dare to accept it -- join the movement to promote awareness for childhood cancer by using the color GOLD. Submit your videos of outrageous ways you are drawing attention to Childhood Cancer Awareness month utilizing GOLD in some aspect of your strategy.

Show us your videos of you starting a golden flash mob, painting your body gold, dying your hair gold, starring in a gold fashion show... using your creativity, the ideas are endless and are sure to cause a stir!

Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Thanks to Florida EcoSafaris sponsorship of the Amazon 5000 Go GOLD Challenge there are 2 EcoPark Admission Tickets ($270 value total, some restrictions apply) up for grabs along with some other exciting prizes (for you non-Floridians) to the winning submissions. Our panel of judges will choose their favorite submissions and on October 1st the winners will be announced!
