Today is LIVESTRONG day, a global day of action to raise awareness in our communities about the fight against cancer.

Over on the LIVESTRONG blog there is a really helpful post where their online community evangelist, Brook McMillan shares how people can contribute and get involved.

It's a great example of the kind of post you too could write to encourage engagement with your community to support your non profit cause or your brand online.

What other example have you seen where a non profit has encouraged their ambassadors to support them through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or YouTube for a specific day or campaign?
