TO2015 #WeArePanAm Parapan Athlete Campaign

February 17, 2014

While it’s been great to see the enthusiasm towards Canada’s athletes and their achievements in Sochi, it is important to remember another key event coming up quickly.

February 25th marks 500 days to TORONTO 2015 and to mark the occasion, TO2015 is encouraging athletes to join our social media #WeArePanAm campaign.

Our goal is to create buzz within the athlete community and get athletes commenting on social media about the TORONTO 2015 Games and what it means to compete at home.

What we are asking:

Use your phone to take a quick 30 second to 1 minute video and send it to us. Your video will be a part of the larger “We are Pan Am” video campaign housed on YouTube and www.toronto2015.org and promoted via social media.

Have some fun with your video if you’d like!

Ideas to capture on video

1. The funniest thing that has ever happened to you as an athlete on your journey to Toronto 2015.
OR
2. Tell us why Toronto and the region hosting these games fit the slogan “We are Pan Am”
3. How and why competing at home gets you motivated and excited? How rare is it? What does it mean to your family? (Include family member if appropriate) How much more motivated does it leave you feeling especially after watching what is happening in Sochi.
4. Include some fun “behind the scenes” footage if possible.

Next Steps

Upload your video to https://www.sendspace.com/
