Dear Charlie and Karla,
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to work with you over the past few months!
Beyond Pink has been an incredible organization to work for, and your cooperation and support
have been invaluable. We are very grateful for the time and energy you have put forth during
our campaign planning process. Our group and the Public Relations Department at Gonzaga
University truly cherish the opportunity to work with Beyond Pink as we strengthen our writing,
communication, and public relations skills. We have been very fortunate to work so closely with
both of you and to experience your genuine spirit and passion for your organization. We all
have acquired a true appreciation for Beyond Pink and all that your organization has
accomplished for breast disease awareness and prevention.
It is our hope that the campaign plan we have created for you will help increase
awareness about Beyond Pink, the Beyond Pink Designer Bra Fashion Show in October of
2015, and the thermography grants that are offered through your fundraising. By enhancing
your social media presence, improving male involvement, and utilizing college campuses to
reach out to targeted demographics, the campaign plan should assist in increasing current and
future awareness for Beyond Pink’s mission.
Thank you again for being open to our ideas and offering constructive feedback. We are
honored to have had the opportunity to work with you, and we look forward to see the amazing
things that Beyond Pink will continue to do in the future.
Sincerely,
Shayna Grant Sam Chambers Maura Schauerman Hannah Wilky

Executive Summary
Research
Beyond Pink is a non-profit organization that was started with the purpose of
teaching others about thermography and providing women with certified breast exams.
Thermography is a powerful technology and can aid in the early detection of breast
disease. It is a medical screening device for breast cancer that uses infrared detectors,
commonly called infrared cameras. The United States FDA approved thermography in
1982 for the screening of breast cancer and is effective with 90% sensitivity and
specificity. Thermography is a preventative tool that acts as an early warning system
and breast thermal imaging can change a life. Above all, Beyond Pink is dedicated to
providing information on breast thermography, risk assessment, early detection and
prevention.
Charlie Brewer and Carla Porter founded Beyond Pink in 2009 to serve the
Spokane community in the fight against breast cancer. Beyond Pink is passionate about
and committed to educating women and promoting awareness. Annual breast
thermography and breast examinations with mammography can improve the detection
of early breast cancer. Using funds from annual fundraisers, women in the Spokane
area can apply for a grant to receive funding for a thermogram. The grant includes a risk
assessment thermogram including gray scale images, a MammaCare clinical breast
exam, a report with interpretation and a thirty-minute follow up visit with a Beyond Pink
physician. The number of available grants depends completely on funds available,
which is why Beyond Pink relies heavily on annual fundraisers. Many non-profits raise
 
	
   5	
  
money to fund research for curing breast cancer, but Beyond Pink differs in that they
aim to prevent breast cancer in the first place. Thermography can detect problems for
such problems turn into breast cancer.
Since being founded in 2009, Beyond Pink has helped over 400 women in the
Spokane community and continues to grow. Every year, Beyond Pink organizes a
designer bra fashion show to support Beyond Pink and women who cannot afford
thermography. The majority of Beyond Pink’s funding comes from this annual fundraiser
and will take place later this year in October.
Objectives
The goals for the campaign plan for Beyond Pink are focused on increasing
awareness and participation for Beyond Pink’s mission as well as increasing social
media presence as Beyond Pink prepares for their annual Designer Bra Fashion Show.
The first specified goal is to increase the participation of men in the organization and
attendance at events. Since breast cancer affects more women than men, Beyond Pink
can increase male participation within their organization by targeting men in the
newsletters and marketing the Designer Bra Fashion Show as a “date night” event.
The second goal is to increase community event involvement and presence in
Spokane. By expanding their community presence, Beyond Pink will have more
opportunities to promote the Designer Bra Fashion Show. To achieve this goal, Beyond
Pink could partner with companies around Spokane such as gyms to create “fitness
challenges,” where the winners could receive tickets to the fundraiser or Sweet
Frostings to create “pink cupcakes,” in which part of the proceeds could be donated to
 
	
   6	
  
Beyond Pink. Hosting seminars on college campuses in the Spokane area is another
opportunity to reach out to the Spokane community and increase awareness.
The third goal is to increase the presence of Beyond Pink on social media
networks. Social media is becoming an increasing popular way to connect with
communities and create a two-way dialogue between companies and the public. To
increase social media presence, Beyond Pink can create an Instagram account to
showcase the progress of the Designer Bra Fashion Show. Developing and using a
hashtag to promote the Designer Bra Fashion Show on Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram posts can increase traffic to Beyond Pink. Using social media to post tips and
facts about breast cancer, thermography, and breast health can increase awareness of
Beyond Pink’s mission.
The fourth and final goal is to further educate high school and college students
on Beyond Pink and thermography technology. Beyond Pink can create a speaker
series to visit local universities and high schools in the Spokane area featuring breast
cancer survivors helped by Beyond Pink, cancer physicians and Beyond Pink’s
founders. Beyond Pink can also publish articles in the Gonzaga Bulletin during Breast
Cancer Awareness Month about thermography.
Programming
The 2015 campaign plan for Beyond Pink is contingent upon four tactics for
continued growth of the run. The four tactics are; to increase participation of men in the
organization and attendance at events, to increase community involvement and
presence in the Spokane Region, to increase the presence of Beyond Pink on social
 
	
   7	
  
media networks and to create a speaker series to visit local universities and high
schools in the Spokane area. These tactics are specifically composed to gain more
presence for Beyond Pink and raise awareness of thermography.
The first tactic is designed to help acquire male participation within Beyond Pink
and male attendance at the events. Beyond Pink will be marketing the Designer Bra
Fashion Show as a date night to attendees. The theme will be “Famous Couples
throughout History” and Beyond Pink will encourage couples to dress according to the
theme. As well, because nearly 2,000 men are diagnosed with Breast Cancer each
year, it is important to market thermography to both men and women.
The second tactic focuses on increasing Beyond Pink’s involvement within the
community, to help raise more awareness of their presence in Spokane. The Beyond
Pink team will set up tables at local colleges as well as at community events such as
Bloomsday, Hoopfest, and sporting tournaments. Also, in order to show support of other
local businesses, Beyond Pink will partner with Sweet Frostings to create a “Pink”
cupcake made of ingrediants that promote breast health and with MUV Fitness to create
a “Fitness Challenge”. A portion of these proceeds will go to the Beyond Pink fund.
The third tactic emphasizes increasing Beyond Pink’s presence on social media.
Currently, the organization only operates through Twitter and predominately Facebook.
There are many other platforms Beyond Pink should be using as well, such as
Instagram. Beyond Pink’s new Instagram account will feature the Fashion show
designers, models and volunteers. As well, Beyond Pink will use a new hashtag to
personalize their postings.
 
	
   8	
  
The fourth tactic focuses on reaching out to the younger population and creating
a speaker series to visit local universities and high schools. Beyond Pink will partner
with different high schools and colleges in the Spokane area to help provide students
with information on thermography technology using a panel of people with a variety of
knowledge. The panel will include breast cancer survivors, members of the Beyond Pink
team and cancer specialists.
Evaluation
The Beyond Pink campaign plan is designed to aid in the implementation of the
four main goals of the campaign plan. In order to assess the success of the campaign,
a pre and post survey will be administered to acquire qualitative and quantitative data
from Beyond Pink volunteers, those associated with breast cancer awareness, and
other members of the Spokane community. This survey will help Beyond Pink to
understand the attitudes and awareness of the program in the Northwest region prior to
the Beyond Pink Fashion Show in October 2015. The post survey will be given to
volunteers, attendees, and breast cancer cure advocates following the Beyond Pink
Fashion Show on October 15, 2015.
The pre-survey will contain questions pertaining to Beyond Pink in order to
assess the general awareness of the organization in the greater Spokane community.
The questions will give helpful information of the latent audience’s view of the
organization as well as present the demographic gap of awareness that will need to be
improved. In addition to understanding the general public awareness of Beyond Pink,
the pre-survey will help Beyond Pink to understand the community’s awareness of the
 
	
   9	
  
thermography technology and if the organization is appealing to both sexes. This
information will be helpful for targeting audiences that are not already participating in
Beyond Pink as well as for understanding the latent audience’s perception of the
program.
Focus groups will be conducted after the event to gather comprehensive data
from volunteers and participants. Questions will be conducted in these focus groups to
gain a deeper understanding of the success of the event. Open-ended questions that
participants the opportunity to expand on their experience with Beyond Pink will be
used. By allowing the participants in the focus group to explain their perceptions and
attitudes of the event, a more comprehensive evaluation of the event can be done.
Post surveys and exit polling will be conducted after the Beyond Pink Fashion
Show on October 15, 2015. Once the fashion show has concluded, the post-survey and
exit polling will be utilized to measure the success of the event and campaign plan.
Questions that will be used on the post-survey are similar to that of the pre-survey in
order to evaluate any changing view points. The data from the pre and post-surveys,
exit polling, and focus groups will aid in planning and implementing campaign plans for
future events.

Public Relations Gap
Beyond Pink is a 501 (c)(3) organization that seeks to help raise breast cancer
awareness using thermography. Each year, Beyond Pink organizes an annual Designer
Bra Fashion Show in Spokane, Washington. All proceeds from the event go towards
funding for women who cannot afford thermography on their own. Beyond Pink provides
the opportunity and funds for certified breast exams to women all over Spokane, and
these exams can save lives. To date, Beyond Pink has helped over 300 local women in
the battle against breast disease and has raised thousands of dollars through their
annual fashion show. This year, the fashion show will be held on Saturday, October 10.
The primary public relations gap is Beyond Pink’s lack of presence on social
media. Beyond Pink is exceedingly active on Facebook, but could still use Twitter and
Instagram more efficiently to help raise awareness. To reach a greater and broader
audience, Beyond Pink needs to utilize all social media platforms. Thus, Beyond Pink’s
social media goal is to gain a larger following on social media and consistently post on
all social media platforms.
The secondary public relations gap is the lack of thermography awareness from
younger generations. High school and college-aged women do not always understand
the importance of thermography, and young women are commonly the ones who lose
the fight against breast cancer. Typically, younger women do not get tested until there is
a noticeable lump, so early detection is sometimes impossible. When it comes to breast
disease, early detection is crucial. Beyond Pink’s goal is to raise awareness with
younger women by focusing more energy on thermography education.
 
	
   11	
  
Target Audience
The goal of Beyond Pink is to raise awareness of the critical importance of the
early detection of breast disease and Thermography technology can make this possible.
There are multiple facets to Beyond Pink that allow it to engage with a large target
audience and attract a variety of supporters.
Beyond Pink is unique because it has two distinct active audiences. One active
audience includes those that are donating to the organization and serving as sponsors.
The other includes those that the non-profit is serving. Beyond Pink’s goal is to educate
and inform young women about the benefits of Thermography. These are the women
that Beyond Pink is ultimately trying to help with the successful of fundraising practices.
In order to spread awareness of Beyond Pink’s mission and inform these young women,
Beyond Pink needs to raise money to help their cause and form a larger networking
base.
The best way to accomplish this is to target more affluent audiences that have
the means to donate money to this cause. Their latent audience involves supporters
with the means to donate to this cause. Beyond Pink hopes to attract men and promote
their events as a fun-filled “date-night” for couples to enjoy because women are much
more likely to donate if their spouse is in attendance. By participating in the event, it is
likely both partners will feel an emotional connection to the cause and be more inclined
to offer a donation. The average bidders at Beyond Pink’s events tend to be in the 40-
60-age range, so this is a key demographic for the success of this nonprofit. It is
essential to find creative ways to attract this clientele.

Tactics
Tactic #1
To Increase Participation of Men in the Organization and Attendance at Events
Beyond Pink aims to increase the participation of men in the organization as well
as their attendance at events. The organization will increase men’s attendance at their
annual Beyond Pink Annual Designer Bra Fashion Show by 15% of the previous year.
In order to raise male attendance, Beyond Pink will market the fashion show as a “date
night” for couples by using the theme “Famous Couples throughout History” and
encouraging couples to dress in appropriate attire for this theme.
The Beyond Pink Designer Bra Fashion Show works to raise awareness of the
breast thermograph exam, a non-intrusive exam that provides early detection and
likelihood of breast cancer. Because breast cancer largely affects more women than
men, Beyond Pink has been successful in targeting women but has found participation
of men more difficult. By incorporating a theme for the fashion show, Beyond Pink
hopes to entice couples to attend and therefore raise the participation of men.
Additionally, by increasing men’s attendance in events, there will likely be more
donations, as men will be more inclined to donate in support of their wives then women
would without their husbands’ present.
 
	
   17	
  
Tactic #2
To Increase Community Event Involvement and Presence in the Spokane Region
To raise awareness of thermography and early breast cancer detection, Beyond
Pink will need to make themselves more present within the community. At the beginning
of each year, Beyond Pink will sign up to participate or set up a table in at least ten
large events such as sporting events, health fairs and college events. Bloomsday and
Hoopfest would be perfect events to attend. As well, Gonzaga University has endless
opportunities to set up a table on the steps of the Crosby Center in the heart of campus,
providing an opportunity to reach out and target to the younger population. Another
great location would be at the WSU College of Nursing Spokane Campus. At these
events, Beyond Pink will pass out Beyond Pink memorabilia such as pens, key chains,
stickers, etc.
To become more integrated into the community with local businesses, Beyond
Pink will partner with Sweet Frostings to create a “Pink” cupcake, promoting Beyond
Pink and early breast cancer detection. Fifty percent of the proceeds will be given back
to Beyond Pink to go toward the grant funds to help women receive thermography
exams. To promote a healthy lifestyle while supporting a local cause, Beyond Pink will
partner with Muv Fitness to create a “Fitness Challenge”. The challenge will last one
month and cost $75. Fifty percent of proceeds will be given back to Beyond Pink.
Participants will be given a t-shirt as well as discounted tickets to the up coming
Designer Bra Fashion Show.
 
	
   18	
  
Tactic #3
To Increase the Presence of Beyond Pink on Social Media Networks
Currently, Beyond Pink utilizes two different social media platforms: Facebook
and Twitter. They predominantly use Facebook for communication purposes, so
continuing to post through Facebook is important. Since Beyond Pink frequently posts
pictures and videos from their fundraisers and other events on Facebook, translating the
effort put into Facebook to the other platforms of Twitter and Instagram is the next step.
Beyond Pink has 1,135 likes on Facebook, but their newly established Twitter
account can obtain new followers by posting on a regular basis. Tweet interesting and
alarming facts and statistics pertaining to thermography and breast cancer in order to
gain interest from followers and increase the potential for these tweets to be “favorited”
and “retweeted.”
Create an Instagram account for Beyond Pink, and use this visual social media
app to showcase the designers and the designs that will be featured in the upcoming
Designer Bra Fashion Show. Upload pictures to Instagram that highlight other important
people to Beyond Pink such as volunteers, donors, and breast cancer survivors helped
through Beyond Pink to create a personal connection between Beyond Pink and social
media followers.
Develop a hashtag related to Beyond Pink that can be used on all posts whether
it be Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. This hashtag will increase traffic to Beyond Pink’s
social media accounts and creates consistency within the organization’s posts.

Tactic #4
To Further Educate High School and College Students on Beyond Pink and
Thermography Technology.
Beyond Pink aims to increase awareness of Beyond Pink and Thermography
technology with college and high school students in Spokane by 15% by September 16,
2015. To help raise awareness, Beyond Pink will organize a speaker series targeted
towards high school and college aged students.
A speaker series will target local high schools and colleges in the Spokane area
such as Lewis and Clark High School, Ferris High School, Gonzaga Preparatory High
School, Spokane Valley High School, Gonzaga University, Whitworth University,
Spokane Community College and Eastern Washington University. Beyond Pink will
partner with different high schools and colleges in the Spokane area to help provide
students with information on Thermography technology. The panel will take place during
lunch at the local high schools and will take place in the evening at the local colleges.
To help entice students to attend the panel, Beyond Pink will partner with one of their
sponsors to provide snacks to students who attend the panel.
The panel will include survivors who were able to detect breast cancer early due
to Thermography technology, and they will also discuss some of their own personal
experiences fighting against breast cancer. This will give the panel a real and more
emotional touch. In addition, the panel will include people who are directly involved with
Beyond Pink’s operations who can touch on what exactly Beyond Pink can do for these
young students. Lastly, the panel will also include cancer physicians who can help
 
	
   20	
  
students understand Thermography technology and the importance of early detection.
To help advertise the event, Beyond Pink will post flyers on each campus and also
reach out to different health departments and faculty to help get the word out about the
informative event.

Beyond Pink Campaign Plan

  • 1.
  • 2.     2   Dear Charlie and Karla, Thank you for providing us the opportunity to work with you over the past few months! Beyond Pink has been an incredible organization to work for, and your cooperation and support have been invaluable. We are very grateful for the time and energy you have put forth during our campaign planning process. Our group and the Public Relations Department at Gonzaga University truly cherish the opportunity to work with Beyond Pink as we strengthen our writing, communication, and public relations skills. We have been very fortunate to work so closely with both of you and to experience your genuine spirit and passion for your organization. We all have acquired a true appreciation for Beyond Pink and all that your organization has accomplished for breast disease awareness and prevention. It is our hope that the campaign plan we have created for you will help increase awareness about Beyond Pink, the Beyond Pink Designer Bra Fashion Show in October of 2015, and the thermography grants that are offered through your fundraising. By enhancing your social media presence, improving male involvement, and utilizing college campuses to reach out to targeted demographics, the campaign plan should assist in increasing current and future awareness for Beyond Pink’s mission. Thank you again for being open to our ideas and offering constructive feedback. We are honored to have had the opportunity to work with you, and we look forward to see the amazing things that Beyond Pink will continue to do in the future. Sincerely, Shayna Grant Sam Chambers Maura Schauerman Hannah Wilky

  • 4.     4   Executive Summary Research Beyond Pink is a non-profit organization that was started with the purpose of teaching others about thermography and providing women with certified breast exams. Thermography is a powerful technology and can aid in the early detection of breast disease. It is a medical screening device for breast cancer that uses infrared detectors, commonly called infrared cameras. The United States FDA approved thermography in 1982 for the screening of breast cancer and is effective with 90% sensitivity and specificity. Thermography is a preventative tool that acts as an early warning system and breast thermal imaging can change a life. Above all, Beyond Pink is dedicated to providing information on breast thermography, risk assessment, early detection and prevention. Charlie Brewer and Carla Porter founded Beyond Pink in 2009 to serve the Spokane community in the fight against breast cancer. Beyond Pink is passionate about and committed to educating women and promoting awareness. Annual breast thermography and breast examinations with mammography can improve the detection of early breast cancer. Using funds from annual fundraisers, women in the Spokane area can apply for a grant to receive funding for a thermogram. The grant includes a risk assessment thermogram including gray scale images, a MammaCare clinical breast exam, a report with interpretation and a thirty-minute follow up visit with a Beyond Pink physician. The number of available grants depends completely on funds available, which is why Beyond Pink relies heavily on annual fundraisers. Many non-profits raise
  • 5.     5   money to fund research for curing breast cancer, but Beyond Pink differs in that they aim to prevent breast cancer in the first place. Thermography can detect problems for such problems turn into breast cancer. Since being founded in 2009, Beyond Pink has helped over 400 women in the Spokane community and continues to grow. Every year, Beyond Pink organizes a designer bra fashion show to support Beyond Pink and women who cannot afford thermography. The majority of Beyond Pink’s funding comes from this annual fundraiser and will take place later this year in October. Objectives The goals for the campaign plan for Beyond Pink are focused on increasing awareness and participation for Beyond Pink’s mission as well as increasing social media presence as Beyond Pink prepares for their annual Designer Bra Fashion Show. The first specified goal is to increase the participation of men in the organization and attendance at events. Since breast cancer affects more women than men, Beyond Pink can increase male participation within their organization by targeting men in the newsletters and marketing the Designer Bra Fashion Show as a “date night” event. The second goal is to increase community event involvement and presence in Spokane. By expanding their community presence, Beyond Pink will have more opportunities to promote the Designer Bra Fashion Show. To achieve this goal, Beyond Pink could partner with companies around Spokane such as gyms to create “fitness challenges,” where the winners could receive tickets to the fundraiser or Sweet Frostings to create “pink cupcakes,” in which part of the proceeds could be donated to
  • 6.     6   Beyond Pink. Hosting seminars on college campuses in the Spokane area is another opportunity to reach out to the Spokane community and increase awareness. The third goal is to increase the presence of Beyond Pink on social media networks. Social media is becoming an increasing popular way to connect with communities and create a two-way dialogue between companies and the public. To increase social media presence, Beyond Pink can create an Instagram account to showcase the progress of the Designer Bra Fashion Show. Developing and using a hashtag to promote the Designer Bra Fashion Show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts can increase traffic to Beyond Pink. Using social media to post tips and facts about breast cancer, thermography, and breast health can increase awareness of Beyond Pink’s mission. The fourth and final goal is to further educate high school and college students on Beyond Pink and thermography technology. Beyond Pink can create a speaker series to visit local universities and high schools in the Spokane area featuring breast cancer survivors helped by Beyond Pink, cancer physicians and Beyond Pink’s founders. Beyond Pink can also publish articles in the Gonzaga Bulletin during Breast Cancer Awareness Month about thermography. Programming The 2015 campaign plan for Beyond Pink is contingent upon four tactics for continued growth of the run. The four tactics are; to increase participation of men in the organization and attendance at events, to increase community involvement and presence in the Spokane Region, to increase the presence of Beyond Pink on social
  • 7.     7   media networks and to create a speaker series to visit local universities and high schools in the Spokane area. These tactics are specifically composed to gain more presence for Beyond Pink and raise awareness of thermography. The first tactic is designed to help acquire male participation within Beyond Pink and male attendance at the events. Beyond Pink will be marketing the Designer Bra Fashion Show as a date night to attendees. The theme will be “Famous Couples throughout History” and Beyond Pink will encourage couples to dress according to the theme. As well, because nearly 2,000 men are diagnosed with Breast Cancer each year, it is important to market thermography to both men and women. The second tactic focuses on increasing Beyond Pink’s involvement within the community, to help raise more awareness of their presence in Spokane. The Beyond Pink team will set up tables at local colleges as well as at community events such as Bloomsday, Hoopfest, and sporting tournaments. Also, in order to show support of other local businesses, Beyond Pink will partner with Sweet Frostings to create a “Pink” cupcake made of ingrediants that promote breast health and with MUV Fitness to create a “Fitness Challenge”. A portion of these proceeds will go to the Beyond Pink fund. The third tactic emphasizes increasing Beyond Pink’s presence on social media. Currently, the organization only operates through Twitter and predominately Facebook. There are many other platforms Beyond Pink should be using as well, such as Instagram. Beyond Pink’s new Instagram account will feature the Fashion show designers, models and volunteers. As well, Beyond Pink will use a new hashtag to personalize their postings.
  • 8.     8   The fourth tactic focuses on reaching out to the younger population and creating a speaker series to visit local universities and high schools. Beyond Pink will partner with different high schools and colleges in the Spokane area to help provide students with information on thermography technology using a panel of people with a variety of knowledge. The panel will include breast cancer survivors, members of the Beyond Pink team and cancer specialists. Evaluation The Beyond Pink campaign plan is designed to aid in the implementation of the four main goals of the campaign plan. In order to assess the success of the campaign, a pre and post survey will be administered to acquire qualitative and quantitative data from Beyond Pink volunteers, those associated with breast cancer awareness, and other members of the Spokane community. This survey will help Beyond Pink to understand the attitudes and awareness of the program in the Northwest region prior to the Beyond Pink Fashion Show in October 2015. The post survey will be given to volunteers, attendees, and breast cancer cure advocates following the Beyond Pink Fashion Show on October 15, 2015. The pre-survey will contain questions pertaining to Beyond Pink in order to assess the general awareness of the organization in the greater Spokane community. The questions will give helpful information of the latent audience’s view of the organization as well as present the demographic gap of awareness that will need to be improved. In addition to understanding the general public awareness of Beyond Pink, the pre-survey will help Beyond Pink to understand the community’s awareness of the
  • 9.     9   thermography technology and if the organization is appealing to both sexes. This information will be helpful for targeting audiences that are not already participating in Beyond Pink as well as for understanding the latent audience’s perception of the program. Focus groups will be conducted after the event to gather comprehensive data from volunteers and participants. Questions will be conducted in these focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of the success of the event. Open-ended questions that participants the opportunity to expand on their experience with Beyond Pink will be used. By allowing the participants in the focus group to explain their perceptions and attitudes of the event, a more comprehensive evaluation of the event can be done. Post surveys and exit polling will be conducted after the Beyond Pink Fashion Show on October 15, 2015. Once the fashion show has concluded, the post-survey and exit polling will be utilized to measure the success of the event and campaign plan. Questions that will be used on the post-survey are similar to that of the pre-survey in order to evaluate any changing view points. The data from the pre and post-surveys, exit polling, and focus groups will aid in planning and implementing campaign plans for future events.
  • 10.     10   Public Relations Gap Beyond Pink is a 501 (c)(3) organization that seeks to help raise breast cancer awareness using thermography. Each year, Beyond Pink organizes an annual Designer Bra Fashion Show in Spokane, Washington. All proceeds from the event go towards funding for women who cannot afford thermography on their own. Beyond Pink provides the opportunity and funds for certified breast exams to women all over Spokane, and these exams can save lives. To date, Beyond Pink has helped over 300 local women in the battle against breast disease and has raised thousands of dollars through their annual fashion show. This year, the fashion show will be held on Saturday, October 10. The primary public relations gap is Beyond Pink’s lack of presence on social media. Beyond Pink is exceedingly active on Facebook, but could still use Twitter and Instagram more efficiently to help raise awareness. To reach a greater and broader audience, Beyond Pink needs to utilize all social media platforms. Thus, Beyond Pink’s social media goal is to gain a larger following on social media and consistently post on all social media platforms. The secondary public relations gap is the lack of thermography awareness from younger generations. High school and college-aged women do not always understand the importance of thermography, and young women are commonly the ones who lose the fight against breast cancer. Typically, younger women do not get tested until there is a noticeable lump, so early detection is sometimes impossible. When it comes to breast disease, early detection is crucial. Beyond Pink’s goal is to raise awareness with younger women by focusing more energy on thermography education.
  • 11.     11   Target Audience The goal of Beyond Pink is to raise awareness of the critical importance of the early detection of breast disease and Thermography technology can make this possible. There are multiple facets to Beyond Pink that allow it to engage with a large target audience and attract a variety of supporters. Beyond Pink is unique because it has two distinct active audiences. One active audience includes those that are donating to the organization and serving as sponsors. The other includes those that the non-profit is serving. Beyond Pink’s goal is to educate and inform young women about the benefits of Thermography. These are the women that Beyond Pink is ultimately trying to help with the successful of fundraising practices. In order to spread awareness of Beyond Pink’s mission and inform these young women, Beyond Pink needs to raise money to help their cause and form a larger networking base. The best way to accomplish this is to target more affluent audiences that have the means to donate money to this cause. Their latent audience involves supporters with the means to donate to this cause. Beyond Pink hopes to attract men and promote their events as a fun-filled “date-night” for couples to enjoy because women are much more likely to donate if their spouse is in attendance. By participating in the event, it is likely both partners will feel an emotional connection to the cause and be more inclined to offer a donation. The average bidders at Beyond Pink’s events tend to be in the 40- 60-age range, so this is a key demographic for the success of this nonprofit. It is essential to find creative ways to attract this clientele.

  • 16.     16   Tactics Tactic #1 To Increase Participation of Men in the Organization and Attendance at Events Beyond Pink aims to increase the participation of men in the organization as well as their attendance at events. The organization will increase men’s attendance at their annual Beyond Pink Annual Designer Bra Fashion Show by 15% of the previous year. In order to raise male attendance, Beyond Pink will market the fashion show as a “date night” for couples by using the theme “Famous Couples throughout History” and encouraging couples to dress in appropriate attire for this theme. The Beyond Pink Designer Bra Fashion Show works to raise awareness of the breast thermograph exam, a non-intrusive exam that provides early detection and likelihood of breast cancer. Because breast cancer largely affects more women than men, Beyond Pink has been successful in targeting women but has found participation of men more difficult. By incorporating a theme for the fashion show, Beyond Pink hopes to entice couples to attend and therefore raise the participation of men. Additionally, by increasing men’s attendance in events, there will likely be more donations, as men will be more inclined to donate in support of their wives then women would without their husbands’ present.
  • 17.     17   Tactic #2 To Increase Community Event Involvement and Presence in the Spokane Region To raise awareness of thermography and early breast cancer detection, Beyond Pink will need to make themselves more present within the community. At the beginning of each year, Beyond Pink will sign up to participate or set up a table in at least ten large events such as sporting events, health fairs and college events. Bloomsday and Hoopfest would be perfect events to attend. As well, Gonzaga University has endless opportunities to set up a table on the steps of the Crosby Center in the heart of campus, providing an opportunity to reach out and target to the younger population. Another great location would be at the WSU College of Nursing Spokane Campus. At these events, Beyond Pink will pass out Beyond Pink memorabilia such as pens, key chains, stickers, etc. To become more integrated into the community with local businesses, Beyond Pink will partner with Sweet Frostings to create a “Pink” cupcake, promoting Beyond Pink and early breast cancer detection. Fifty percent of the proceeds will be given back to Beyond Pink to go toward the grant funds to help women receive thermography exams. To promote a healthy lifestyle while supporting a local cause, Beyond Pink will partner with Muv Fitness to create a “Fitness Challenge”. The challenge will last one month and cost $75. Fifty percent of proceeds will be given back to Beyond Pink. Participants will be given a t-shirt as well as discounted tickets to the up coming Designer Bra Fashion Show.
  • 18.     18   Tactic #3 To Increase the Presence of Beyond Pink on Social Media Networks Currently, Beyond Pink utilizes two different social media platforms: Facebook and Twitter. They predominantly use Facebook for communication purposes, so continuing to post through Facebook is important. Since Beyond Pink frequently posts pictures and videos from their fundraisers and other events on Facebook, translating the effort put into Facebook to the other platforms of Twitter and Instagram is the next step. Beyond Pink has 1,135 likes on Facebook, but their newly established Twitter account can obtain new followers by posting on a regular basis. Tweet interesting and alarming facts and statistics pertaining to thermography and breast cancer in order to gain interest from followers and increase the potential for these tweets to be “favorited” and “retweeted.” Create an Instagram account for Beyond Pink, and use this visual social media app to showcase the designers and the designs that will be featured in the upcoming Designer Bra Fashion Show. Upload pictures to Instagram that highlight other important people to Beyond Pink such as volunteers, donors, and breast cancer survivors helped through Beyond Pink to create a personal connection between Beyond Pink and social media followers. Develop a hashtag related to Beyond Pink that can be used on all posts whether it be Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. This hashtag will increase traffic to Beyond Pink’s social media accounts and creates consistency within the organization’s posts.
  • 19.     19   Tactic #4 To Further Educate High School and College Students on Beyond Pink and Thermography Technology. Beyond Pink aims to increase awareness of Beyond Pink and Thermography technology with college and high school students in Spokane by 15% by September 16, 2015. To help raise awareness, Beyond Pink will organize a speaker series targeted towards high school and college aged students. A speaker series will target local high schools and colleges in the Spokane area such as Lewis and Clark High School, Ferris High School, Gonzaga Preparatory High School, Spokane Valley High School, Gonzaga University, Whitworth University, Spokane Community College and Eastern Washington University. Beyond Pink will partner with different high schools and colleges in the Spokane area to help provide students with information on Thermography technology. The panel will take place during lunch at the local high schools and will take place in the evening at the local colleges. To help entice students to attend the panel, Beyond Pink will partner with one of their sponsors to provide snacks to students who attend the panel. The panel will include survivors who were able to detect breast cancer early due to Thermography technology, and they will also discuss some of their own personal experiences fighting against breast cancer. This will give the panel a real and more emotional touch. In addition, the panel will include people who are directly involved with Beyond Pink’s operations who can touch on what exactly Beyond Pink can do for these young students. Lastly, the panel will also include cancer physicians who can help
  • 20.     20   students understand Thermography technology and the importance of early detection. To help advertise the event, Beyond Pink will post flyers on each campus and also reach out to different health departments and faculty to help get the word out about the informative event.

  • 23.     23   Campaign Evaluation The Beyond Pink campaign plan is designed to aid in the implementation of the four main goals stated on the previous pages of the campaign plan. In order to assess the success of the campaign, a pre and post survey will be administered to acquire qualitative and quantitative data from Beyond Pink volunteers, those associated with breast cancer awareness, and other members of the Spokane community. This survey will help Beyond Pink understand the attitudes and awareness of the program in the Northwest region prior to the Beyond Pink Fashion Show in October of 2015.

This information will be helpful for targeting audiences that are not already participating in Beyond Pink as well as understand the latent audience’s perception of the program. Focus groups will be conducted after the event to gather comprehensive data from volunteers and participants. Questions will be conducted in these focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of the success of the event. Open-ended questions that
  • 24.     24   give the participant the opportunity to expand on their experience with Beyond Pink will be used. By allowing the participants in the focus group to explain their perceptions and attitudes of the event, a more comprehensive evaluation of the event can be done. Post surveys and exit polling will be conducted after the Beyond Pink Fashion Show on October 15, 2015. Once the fashion show has concluded, the post-survey and exit polling will be utilized to measure the success of the event and campaign plan. Questions that will be used on the post-survey are similar to that of the pre-survey in order to evaluate any changing view points. The data from the pre and post surveys, exit polling, and focus groups will aid in planning and implementing campaign plans for future events.
