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.
