Fundraising Ideas for Cancer Research !?

Question

My Fiance is riding for a cure against cancer and we need to raise $3,000. Any suggestions on how we can raise money other than a car wash or door to door?

Answer 1

Honestly I'm trying to think of the same thing. What about a big fair? Do some fun games, booths, and award prizes. Rent/buy a moon bounce and a rock wall. It would be good!

Answer 2

Do a bleach your hair or shave your head booth !

Answer 3

Hi there, Vanessa!

I've been heavily involved with nonprofit fund raising for years....so here are some ideas I have that could be relatively low in cost for your fiance's ride...

1) Consider an e-mail campaign - depending on how many email addresses you have, you never know how many people might respond to your cause and just write you a check! This works amazingly well for several organizations that are short on time AND resources.

2) Instead of having a garage sale at your home, try having a "garage" sale on eBay! Think of it as a virtual way to get rid of some stuff AND make a little more money...(make sure you include the cost of shipping those items online or else you'll end up losing money!).

3) If you are involved in some kind of community (such as a school, church, civic center etc) think of making an announcement or posting bulletins - You could always sell baked goods at school or church or even start up a recycling campaign!
