One Global Team, One Goal

Donate To This Campaign Now!

Aims and Focus of the 2014 Campaign

View Our Campaign Flyer

Alliance member associations from around the world have contact with athletes from a number of sports, including rugby, football, soccer, ultra marathon running, tennis and swimming.

The aim of the One Global Team, One Goal Campaign is to leverage this support. We are asking Alliance members to invite athletes to share messages, photos and/or videos of themselves to support people living with ALS/MND on and around 21 June 2014.

The campaign will run for one week, from 19 to 26 June.

Through this social media campaigning, we hope to raise awareness and funds to support the Alliance’s international efforts, as well as those of our members.

We will use the hashtag #GlobalTeam to demonstrate our solidarity and to show that we are united in the worldwide fight against ALS/MND!

We would also like to focus this campaign on promoting the needs of people diagnosed with ALS/MND globally and the family of ALS/MND charters initiated last year.

Objectives

The objectives of the One Global Team, One Goal campaign are:

1.    To engage with notable athletes to create a coordinated Global Day social media campaign that will encourage member engagement and raise awareness of ALS/MND internationally.
2.    To encourage donations to member organisations and the Alliance.
3.    To create and share key messages to highlight the needs of people living with ALS/MND worldwide on ALS/MND Global Day.
4.    To encourage people to sign ALS/MND Charters in the countries where these are available.

How Members Can Get Involved

Alliance members are encouraged to invite the athletes and teams that support them to share messages of hope, awareness and education via social media on and around 21 June 2014.

Ask athletes you are in contact with to create photos or videos to raise awareness and funds for ALS/MND. Make sure you tag the Alliance (@alsmndalliance on Twitter, or The International Alliance on Facebook)!

If you do not have the time or the staff available to personally contact athletes in your country, or if you do not have any contact with notable sportspeople, you can still participate by liking, sharing and re-tweeting the Alliance’s messages on Facebook and Twitter!

The Alliance understands that most member organisations have very limited capacity to engage in campaigns outside of their day-to-day operations. It is anticipated that this idea will require minimal staff time and effort and can be scaled according to the interest and capacity of members.

Key Message 

Below is the key message we want to use during this campaign. Athletes can print and download this key message and hold it up for photos and videos on Facebook and Twitter!

Below, find links to the key message branded specially for a number of different sports, formatted for A4-sized paper. As you can see, we’ve created many logos, so use whichever is most relevant to you. Please translate as required! 

One #GlobalTeam, One Goal:
A World Free of ALS/MND!

Download and print the key message! Choose a sporting event below:

American Football, Aussie Rules, Baseball, Basketball, Cricket, Cycling, Diving, Golf, Ice Hockey, Kiteboarding, Rugby, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis, Track & Field/Running
