At Treatment Action Group (TAG), we believe in the power of social media to amplify support and spread awareness. By utilizing social media platforms and online communities, you can celebrate your special occasions while expanding your impact and raising awareness about the critical work being done to end HIV, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis.
How It Works
- Spread the Word Online: On your birthday, anniversary, awareness day, or other occasion, use your networks and social media platforms to let your followers know that you would like to celebrate by making a difference. Share your dedication to TAG’s mission and explain how their contributions can help save lives and advance vital health advocacy.
- Create a Fundraiser: Many social media platforms offer fundraising features that allow you to create a dedicated fundraising campaign for TAG. Set a goal, personalize your campaign by sharing your story and connection to TAG’s cause, and encourage your network to donate directly to the campaign. There’s an example of a Facebook fundraiser above this section.
- Share Your Passion: Share posts, photos, or videos that highlight your passion for supporting the fight against these epidemics. Use hashtags such as #EndHIV, #EndHepatitisC, or #EndTB to connect with others who share the same mission.
- Tag and Thank Supporters: As donations come in, take the opportunity to publicly thank your supporters on social media. Tag them in posts or stories, expressing your gratitude for their contributions and acknowledging their generosity. This not only shows appreciation but also encourages others to get involved.
Please note you can find links to TAG’s social media accounts at the top right of every page.
How Your Celebrations Make a Difference

- Raise Funds: By creating a social media fundraiser or sharing donation links, you directly contribute to the resources needed for groundbreaking research, policy advocacy, and community engagement programs.
- Increase Awareness: Your social media posts allow you to educate and raise awareness about these epidemics, challenge misconceptions, and reduce stigma. Every share, like, or comment helps spread the message and encourages others to take action.
