Additional Fundraising Ideas:

  • Add the event to your email signature: E.g. "Please consider making a donation to the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation" with a link to your fundraising page.

  • Get others involved! Ask someone who can’t participate in the walk to help you collect donations.
     
  • Ask your friends to give up coffee for a day and donate what they would've spent. 
     
  • Promote matching gifts! Use this link and share with your team to see what employers match: Matching Gifts Employer Search. Note, for matching gifts to be considered for awards and prize calculations, paperwork must be submitted by Wednesday, May 13th and you will need to contact Jessica Sop at jsop@askccf.org.

  • Host a fundraising party or event. Get creative! You could do anything from a lemonade stand to a karaoke party to a silent auction. 
     
  • Pick a Number: Create a large poster with the numbers 1-50 on it or use this digital version. The idea is that friends and family can "Pick a Number" and donate that amount. Once they pick a number, that number is taken off the board. Or try it on social media! Just X out numbers as people claim them in the comments - then follow up with them on how to donate that amount to your team page. If all 50 numbers are taken, you'll raise $1,500! And no single person has to give more than $50.
