Fundraising for cancer is at the core of some of the most popular and recognizable fundraising initiatives. Whether it is the Relay for Life, Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong Foundation or one of hundreds of local charities, groups sponsoring cancer fundraisers often find that people are highly motivated to donate time and money.
Cancer is a disease that touches so many people. Thus far, a cure has been elusive. Therefore, cancer fundraisers often benefit cancer research, as such research is the best hope for cancer patients and their families. Cancer fundraisers also benefit cancer patient support groups, survivor networks and other initiatives that help to educate and empower people diagnosed with cancer.
Once your group determines to raise money for cancer, there are several avenues you may take. Your group may decide to support one of the many national cancer fundraising initiatives that benefit cancer research or cancer patients. For instance, your group could organize a team for Relay for Life and raise money for that organization. Alternately, your group may decide to hold its own cancer fundraiser. You may decide to sponsor a particular patient, family or hospital and fundraise on their behalf. Or your cancer fundraiser may take the form of an awareness fundraiser and your group can donate the proceeds to a local or national cancer research organization.
