Fundraising Ideas

Your creativity is one of the most valuable resources in developing a successful fundraiser.  The more interesting, unique and interactive your fundraiser is, the more likely people will be to participate and contribute.

To jumpstart your brainstorming, below are some popular fundraisers:

Your own active event!

Team G Foundation is encouraging individuals to take on ANY challenge for ANY cancer child on ANY day of the year.  It’s all about “getting active” in the fight against childhood cancer and honoring these children that are affected by cancer who fight for their lives every day.  If it’s a challenge for you to walk a mile, then make that YOUR challenge, register your event, gain sponsors or pledges and go for it!  How about a hill climb, a mountain race, a stair climb….get out there and fight for it!

• Marathons of all kinds: Walk-a-Thons, Bike-a-Thons, Dance-a-Thons or Bowl-a-Thons. Favorite sports or hobbies provide participants with a great opportunity to test their endurance while collecting pledges for specified lengths of time, repetitions or skills.
