National Fibromyalgia Association reaches goal of 10,000 Facebook Fans in record time
ANAHEIM, Calif.(Aug. 24, 2009) – It began as the National Fibromyalgia Association’s (NFA) first major social media campaign: get10,000 ‘fans’ on its Facebook page by October 1, 2009 to help raise awareness on behalf of the estimated 10 million people with fibromyalgia and to inform the public about the NFA-the largest U.S.nonprofit organization serving people with fibromyalgia.
Less than four weeks after the launch of its “10,000 for 10 million” campaign, the NFA not only reached its goal-well over a month ahead ofits deadline-but its fans page became one of the few online and offline places where many people with fibromyalgia are finding support for and understanding of their often debilitating, chronic pain disorder.
As one of the first “fans” put it: Finally, a place where we all can come together and share and help one another. What a blessing this will be.”
