How to Start a Fundraiser for All Types of Cancer

Having a fundraiser is a great way to support and raise money for a good cause.  There are many things you can do to raise money for all types of cancer, from bake sales to sporting tournaments.  Try to get as many people as you can involved to achieve the best results.

Getting Started

1. Decide what type of fundraiser you would like to have.  Some ideas for fundraisers include car washes, wine tastings, talent shows, bake sales, garage sales and sporting tournaments.


2. Get a team of individuals together who are all passionate about the cause and willing to help.  Ask for support from friends, family and coworkers.

Fundraising

1. Assign each person a specific task to ensure that the fundraiser runs smoothly and all of the responsibility does not fall on one person.


2. Set small goals and have a little celebration for your team members when they are reached.


3. Ask people to donate items to have as prizes for a raffle or auction at the fundraising event.


4. Advertise your fundraiser with brochures, fliers and posters.

Events

1. Try joining an event such as Relay For Life, where many different groups come together to raise money for cancer. 


2. Set up tables with items for sale at the event to raise money.


3. Consider having team members bake goods to sell the night of the event.


4. Try setting up some type of game for kids to play the night of the event, such as ring toss or a fishing game.  This will draw people in to your booth and earn more money to donate toward the cause.
