Finding Funny Social Media Content Leading up to Fundraiser
Good morning everyone! I work at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum and we are a few weeks out from our biggest fundraiser of the year. We'd LOVE to create fun and witty social media posts leading up to our event - something that distinguishes us as being creative, with a great sense of humor and playful! Does anyone have SM accounts they'd recommend for some inspo?? I would appreciate it so much!!!!!

Any insights, recommendations, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
