Fundraising Ideas
Many people ask us how they can help us in our mission to find the
cure for pediatric cancer. There are countless ways anyone can help
raise money for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Some of the most
effective fundraising efforts are the easiest ones to put together—so
we encourage you to join forces with your friends, co-workers or
community groups in organizing your very own fundraiser! Below are
some easy to execute ideas!
- Donate by Design - Create a unique giving program based
upon the wants of employees. A company in Tampa responded to
their employees request to wear jeans on Fridays by creating Dollar
Denim
Days – a program that allowed denim in exchange for a dollar
donation to a designated charity. Through this program over $2,000
was raised for pediatric cancer research and employees enjoyed
being casual for a cause!
- Carwash - Bake Sale - Yard Sale – You can use any opportunity
to help raise money for children with cancer. Community carwashes
are great ways for everyone to get involved in raising money for
kids with cancer. We even had a group do a community dog wash that raised $2,000 for PCF! Or gather some friends together to sell some sweet
treats and advertise that the proceeds are going to benefit the Pediatric
Cancer Foundation. Clean out the closets and attic for a yard sale
that will help fund research. There are endless ways that you can
help. Just make it simple and make it fun!
- Organize a Special Event - Or name the Pediatric Cancer Foundation
the beneficiary of an existing one! Special events can
range from casino nights to fashion shows to dinner dances. We had an 8 year old ask people to make donations to PCF instead of giving her birthday gifts and she raised over $700!
Every
donation
makes a difference. So whether the event is small or large, the
funds donated to the Foundation will help us get closer to our
mission.
