Making a difference doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking—you can turn everyday events and activities into fundraisers. Instead of birthday gifts, ask your friends and family for donations to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, or get together with your friends to host a video game marathon fundraiser encouraging Prevent Cancer Foundation donations. You can turn almost anything into a way to help us imagine a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all. Whether you’re supporting or hosting a campaign, don’t forget to share what you’re doing with everyone you know. The more people you talk to, the more support you’ll get!
Have you lost a loved one to cancer or want to honor a loved one who beat their cancer? Honor them by creating a personal fundraising page to help end cancer as we know it.
Create your own fundraising page and support cancer prevention and early detection.
Have a special occasion like a birthday or a wedding coming up? Hosting a car wash in your community? Do you organize a regular poker tournament with friends or family? There are so many chances to turn everyday events into fundraisers for Prevent Cancer Foundation donations.
Create your own fundraising page and support cancer prevention and early detection.
Create your own streaming fundraiser to stop cancer before it’s game over. Whether you’re hosting a speed run, planning a variety performance or sharing your art or music, you can make a difference in cancer prevention and early detection.
Create your own fundraising page and support cancer prevention and early detection.
These steps will get you going:
Start a fundraiser!
Customize your fundraising page with images and a personal message. Let everyone know why you're passionate about preventing cancer or detecting it early and why they should donate.
Set a goal and make the first Prevent Cancer Foundation donation—people are more likely to donate to a page that has already raised some money. $5 should get the ball rolling!
Ask friends and family for support by sharing, tweeting or posting your fundraiser on social media, writing an email or making a phone call. Connecting with your community will help you reach your goal.
Say thank you when you receive donations to show your appreciation to everyone who helps you reach your goal.
