CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - May 24, 2017 - PRLog -- Today, the National Preconception Health & Health Care Initiative (http://www.beforeandbeyond.org/about) (PCHHC) has partnered with Every Woman Southeast (http://www.everywomansoutheast.org) and NCSEXCON (https://twitter.com/hashtag/ncsexcon17?f=tweets&vertical=default&src=hash) to keep the preconception health momentum rolling this summer by encouraging young adults across the US to share and repost photos of their healthy summer fun.

The Challenge:

Snap a photo of the healthy choices you're making this summer. Post your photo and caption to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (must use: #ShowYourLoveToday (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23ShowYourLoveToday&src=typd) AND #MyHealthySummer (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=%23MyHealthySummer&src=typd)). Be sure to tag @ShowYourLoveToday. Each post is one worth one point.

Follow #ShowYourLoveToday and repost another person's photo. Each 'share' of another account's post is worth two points.

At the end of the summer, we'll announce the most engaged individual (or group). This will be based on their number of original social media posts and 'shares.'* What's the incentive, you ask? Check it out!

Engagement Incentives:

The more you post and share others' posts, the more chances you have to earn the incentive for yourself. Here are the items we plan to offer. If we have a large number of participants, we will increase the number of incentives we offer!
