Charity Developer Challenge : Breast Cancer Campaign
Brest Cancer Campaign have set a challenge for our attendees, would you like to know more :
Breast Cancer Campaign is looking for ways to increase awareness and generate support of our national fundraising event, wear it pink, across the UK and Ireland. Through the use of social media and PayPal we hope to engage our supporters whilst providing an alternative, easier means to donate to the charity throughout October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM).
As wear it pink is all about having fun whilst raising money for breast cancer research (people dye their hair pink/where pink costumes/hold pink events), we want something which social media users can use in order to add a bit of wear it pink-style fun to their social media profile too.
The Challenge – Pink Your Profile!
We would like you to develop a functional application that enables social media users to turn their profile photo/avatar pink for the month of October in support of our wear it pink event.
Users who add the application should be able to:
- Turn their profile photo/avatar pink
- Make a donation to Breast Cancer Campaign through PayPal
- Register to take part in wear it pink (this should be optional as some people may have already signed up)
- Invite their friends on Facebook to also add the application
The aim is to provide a fun application which promotes wear it pink and allows other users to easily add the application to their pages.
About wear it pink
