Fundraising Tips

Fighting cancer is a cause that is easy to rally around and one that many people will gladly support. We want to be sure that we are doing everything we can to help you as a fundraising Relay For Life participant. You can find lots of good fundraising ideas here that are regularly updated - as well as where to find more ideas and other Relay For Life fundraising information.

Make a list and check it twice.
Make a list of potential donors. Include everyone you know and send them each a letter or an email using your My Relay dashboard. Start by making a donation yourself and ask others to match it!

Ask every day.
Ask one person each day to make a contribution. If you get five $20 gifts, you'll have raised $100 in less than a week! Cancer is an issue that affects us all, and most people are happy to donate - even in tough economic times. Don't assume the answer is no - give everyone the opportunity to help finish the fight against cancer by making a tax-deductible donation.

Honor someone.
Encourage a cancer survivor to walk or participate on your team. Let everyone know your team is walking in his or her honor. A real-life story makes your fundraising personal.

Talk it up.
Ask for a few minutes on the agenda of any meetings you'll be attending. Explain why you are participating in the event and ask for everyone's support. If you're dedicating your efforts to someone who has had cancer, tell that person's story.

Fundraise as a team.
Teams can have a lot of fun organizing activities and events to raise money for the American Cancer Society. There are many team fundraising ideas, but we've found that fundraising activities that provide a service that people would already spend money on are most successful. For example, teams could offer babysitting or host movie nights, garage sales, spaghetti dinners, or car washes the sky is the limit!

Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.

There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.

How We Support the American Cancer Society

Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
