Volunteering & Community

“Hello, my name is….” It’s a phrase made up of only four words. It takes very little time to say – it’s an easy way to begin a conversation. Yet, when people say these words, they can have such a big impact. My late wife, Kate, started the #HelloMyNameIs campaign in 2013 while living with terminal cancer. As a medic herself, she had become frustrated with nurses and doctors who never introduced themselves to her before providing medical care.

How can today’s nonprofits use social media to connect with the people they serve? How can they create brands that appeal to both homeless youth and millionaire donors? How can they reach the right audiences with the right messages at the right times? Those are questions that keep many nonprofit leaders up at night.

Since 1998, Aflac independent sales agent Gail Moeder has volunteered with Camp Hope - Heartland in Great Bend, Kansas, a nonprofit camp supporting families living with, through and beyond cancer. For her, the cancer experience hits close to home, inspiring her to be involved with this special place “beyond the rainbow.” Watch and learn more about how she is “doing good” for her community. Look for Gail, along with our other Aflac Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) heroes, in the 2016 Aflac CSR Report #Duckprints #AflacCSR
