Andover, MA (PRWEB) November 10, 2016
Nurse Mates is pleased to announce St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as the recipient of the proceeds resulting from September’s #GiveHeartsForKids Campaign, totaling $12,750. Nurse Mates dedicated the month of September to raise funds and awareness for Children’s Cancer Research with the first annual #GiveHeartsForKids campaign, a multi-channel initiative designed to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Nurse Mates enlisted the help of their brand ambassador and social media celebrity, Courtney Thibeault, the face behind nursing humor Instagram account @NursesOfInstagram, to co-host the campaign and spread the word about their mission. Together, through Nurse Mates’ customer network and Courtney’s loyal followers within the nursing community, thousands were solicited to get involved and give back to Children’s Cancer Research. Throughout September, Nurse Mates pledged to donate $1 for every photo posted to Instagram with the users hands in the shape of a heart, including hashtag #GiveHeartsForKids. Additionally, the brand pledged to donate $10.00 for every online footwear purchase made through NurseMates.com, and $1 for every new email sign-up to the NurseMates.com customer list.
