Fund Raise For Breast Cancer

Raising money for breast cancer can take a variety of forms.


Fundraising for breast cancer can be done in a variety of ways. It helps educate people on the disease as well as making them aware of how devastating it can be for those fighting breast cancer. Fundraisers also give hope to those diagnosed with breast cancer. It allows them to see there are people out there who care about them and want to do anything possible to help find a cure. The money raised during these fundraising events go to patients who cannot afford treatment and research companies who are searching for a cure.


Instructions


1. Host a party in your home for family, neighbors, co-workers and friends. Let them know the purpose of the party and why it is important to you. Share a video with them about breast cancer and ask them to support your cause.


2. Speak with the principal at your child's school and start a "Loose Change Day." Print out flyers asking each child to bring in loose change from home to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Get the whole school to participate by letting them count the change and roll it.


3. Hold a garage sale to raise money. Ask friends and neighbors to donate items and make posters that indicate all proceeds will go to breast cancer awareness. Have the local newspaper run an ad about your event. It can help promote sales.


4. Ask your place of worship, school or another organization to host a spaghetti dinner to aise money for breast cancer. This event can be for the whole family to enjoy and usually charge an admission fee to participate. Have friends and family volunteer to help with cooking and serving the food.


5. Make crafts or jewelry with the breast cancer symbol embroidered on it. Sell them at flea markets for a profit. The profit you make can be used as a donation. Some easy crafts to make would be picture frames, scarves, earrings, necklaces and bracelets.


6. Visit local businesses in town asking to help with raising money for breast cancer. Ask them to put out a jar for donations. Most local businesses will not turn you down if it's for a good cause.
