Fundraising Ideas and Tips:

• Create a t-shirt fundraiser through Bonfire! The 100% free and easy way to raise money and rally support from your community with custom shirts. Learn more here 
• Dedicate a milestone moment:  This could include your birthday/anniversary/holiday/baby gender reveal. You can ask for donations to the ACS in lieu of gifts or drink.
• Create a Facebook Fundraiser: On average, a participant raises 3 times more when creating a Facebook fundraiser! 
• Share your Story: Share on social media or with your friends your connection to cancer, and don't be afraid to ask for donations! 
• Host a Dine-to-Donate event: This could be at a local restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, teahouse, or bar. Talk to owners of local establishments in your area or use Groupraise.com to find locations near you.
• Ask for Pledges: Pick a period of time, such as Giving Tuesday or the month of January to ask for donations.
• Use tangible giving statements: Your donors want to know where their money is going, and how they are making an impact. Use language such as "Will you donate $50 to support the American Cancer Society's 24/7 hotline?"
• Ask people to join your spin team! Recruit your friends and family to join in the fight!
