1. Choose a fundraising idea
Thank you for choosing to support the OWN.CANCER campaign with your event!
To help your event succeed, we suggest finding a unique fundraising idea that will encourage friends and family to support. We are here along the way to answer any questions you may have.
Event Examples
Head Shaves
Charity head shaves have long been a popular way of raising money for good causes. The idea is very simple and a great attention grabber, guaranteed to attract publicity to your good cause.
Golf Tournament
Golf tournaments can be very successful fundraising events, when done right. Of course, the player registration fee provides a baseline for obtaining funds; however, there are plenty of opportunities to raise money before, during and after the tournament takes place.
Run/Walk
With so many charity run/walks, you’d think the nonprofit community would be out of ideas, but this type of event continues to raise money year after year.
