"THE RALLIERS" AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

Interested in taking your involvement with Rise & Rally to the next level? Come join “The Ralliers,” our ambassador program where we educate, empower, and collaborate with our ambassadors to raise awareness of key issues, advocate for solutions and legislation, and foster connections for those seeking involvement in their state.
Being an ambassador is all about using your voice to spread our message, resources, and community to those who want and need it. It’s about being part of a movement to transform the pain caused by these systems into purpose, helping to make things better for not just yourself, but for others too, so they don’t have to endure the same hardships.
Before you stop and think it would be too much to take on know that we understand that if you’ve been impacted as a patient, caregiver, physician, or other stakeholder wanting to get involved, you’re likely already busy navigating the system yourself and may hesitate to take on more. We really do get it. That’s why our ambassador program can be as involved as you want it to be, making it accessible and doable for whatever level of commitment you choose.
On this page, you can learn more about the program and hopefully decide to join us and the rest of “The Ralliers” on your own ambassador journey!

WHAT DOES AN AMBASSADOR DO

We understand that adding more to your plate while navigating the healthcare system, whether as a patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider, is already a significant undertaking.

You can expect:
• Social Media Posts & Engagement (Required): We ask our ambassadors to post about Rise & Rally at least three times a month on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or others. These posts can include sharing our content, wearing Rise & Rally apparel, or discussing your own experiences and the issues we advocate for.

Building a supportive community is a core aspect of our program, offering you the camaraderie and encouragement of fellow advocates.

AMBASSADOR REQUIREMENTS

Again, we can’t say it enough, we want to  keep the requirements as low key, accessible and doable as possible so that we can have more voices and ambassadors involved so this is what we ask of our ambassadors:
✔ Post About Rise & Rally 3 Times A Month On Social Media Platforms Like Instagram, Tiktok, Or Others
**These posts can vary in content, ranging from sharing our posts on your stories, to wearing our Rise & Rally apparel and tagging us, to sharing your own story, links to petitions, or legislative issues we are working on etc. We are very flexible on how you share and want what you share to be authentic to your story and what you care about. Our goal here is that by sharing what matters to you and how it has impacted you, others will start to be more aware and care about it too – growing our movement and helping to push forward change in the system.
Make a one-year commitment to the program, with the option to continue in the program if you’d like

ENCOURAGED ENGAGEMENT

While we want to keep it low key so we can have more voices and more ambassadors involved, we also recognize that some people want to get more involved than that. For those that want to be more involved, we offer a variety of things that you can get involved in depending on what you want that to look like for you!
Here are some additional ways you can get involved:
• Wear Rise & Rally Apparel: Wearing Rise & Rally merchandise is a great way to spark conversations and raise awareness both online and offline. By proudly displaying our logo and apparel, you can initiate discussions about your story, your experience, our cause and help spread our collective calling for change with others!
Attend Events: Attending occasional in-person or virtual events organized by Rise & Rally, such as fundraisers, rallies, or advocacy days, is another way to deepen your involvement. These events offer opportunities to connect with fellow advocates, learn more about our initiatives, and actively participate in our mission.
Tag Us On Socials: Tagging us in your social media profile to let others know you are an ambassador and resource can enhance your impact. This simple action increases visibility for Rise & Rally and helps connect others to our supportive community and valuable resources.
• Participate In Advocacy: Participating in advocacy efforts by meeting with local representatives, sharing your personal story, or advocating for specific legislation that aligns with our mission is crucial. Your voice can influence policy changes and ensure that the needs of those affected by chronic, complex, and rare diseases are heard.
Fundraising Initiatives: Assisting with fundraising initiatives is another impactful way to contribute. Whether by helping to plan events, reaching out to potential donors, or promoting fundraising campaigns on social media, your efforts can help secure the resources needed to advance our work.
Organize Community Events: Collaborating with us to organize and host events in your local community, such as meetups, educational seminars, or advocacy workshops, allows you to take a proactive role in raising awareness.
