Run for a Cause - Renaissance Race Against Cancer

6th Annual Renaissance Race Against Cancer
Saturday – June 11th, 2016


Renaissance Race Against Cancer first started back in 2011. Two Renaissance employees, Dodie Berard and Cynde Krug, who lost their battles with cancer in late 2010, inspired the race. As more and more of our co-workers, friends, and neighbors are diagnosed with this disease, the annual race provides an ongoing opportunity for all participants to honor and support friends and loved ones also affected. All proceeds from the event provide much-needed resources to the Patient Care Fund at the Aspirus UW Cancer Center Riverview. This fund helps local cancer patients by removing barriers that might otherwise restrict access to the life-saving treatment everyone deserves. It provides assistance in the form of gas cards to allow patients to get to and from treatment, co-pays for medicine, necessary supplies not covered by insurance, and even things like replacement hot-water heaters if needed.

Last year, nearly 700 participants and 125 volunteers took part in the Renaissance Race Against Cancer, raising $28,000 for the Cancer Patient Fund at the UW Cancer Center Riverview. This year, we hope to do even more.  We are excited to announce that not only will we have a 5K Run/Walk this year, but we are adding a 10K Run as well. The Cancer Patient Fund has no administrative expenses and no overhead. Money raised at the race goes directly to local cancer patients, and it truly makes a difference. We hope you will be able to join us at this event to run or walk on Saturday, June 11th. Follow the race on Facebook or Twitter to keep up on the latest news.

How to Succeed in Influencer Marketing without Being Annoying

The internet is a bonus and a bane to most people. You can research anything, get your message out inexpensively, connect with people around the globe, and entertain yourself for hours. But it also has created a need for itself. It has a constant hunger for content. It provides a large bullhorn for people to pronounce their views and others are listening. That’s why influencer marketing has become so hot. What Is Influencer Marketing? Influencer marketing is a type of word of mouth marketing. Just like big brands may use a celebrity endorsement such as an athlete who wears the brand’s sneakers, influencer marketing uses well-known (or well-followed) internet personalities to talk about their product, service, event, etc. Just like in celebrity endorsements, this influencer has a fan base and is likely considered a pro in a given area. There are people who will buy your product/service or look into your organization just because the influencer talked about you. Where you fin
