Frohe Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest is the unofficial start to fall! This year, the official festival runs from September 21st to October 6th but countries all over the world will be celebrating throughout the entire month. Whether you’re hosting your own event or saying “prost” to your audience, you can use our Oktoberfest Invite template.

RAISE AWARENESS

With the National Wildlife Day, International Day of Charity, Suicide Prevention Day, and even more cause-centric holidays this month, raise awareness of a cause that’s close to your heart. There Cause Awareness Campaign is an eye-catching and engaging way to explain the “why?” behind your cause. Or, reach out and ask for donations with the Fundraising Explainer or Social Fundraising Ad templates.

AMPLIFY YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST

September is ending on a high note with International Podcast Day. This is a great time to share and support your favorite podcast or share a teaser of the next episode of your own podcast.
