Breast cancer survivors, their families and charity supporters can all help raise money to fight breast cancer. Paint your fundraising ideas pink with these breast cancer charity fundraising ideas.
Sponsored Events for Breast Cancer Charities
Perhaps the most popular fundraising events for breast cancer charities are sponsored events. Sponsored walks and marathons are very popular; you can choose to participate in one of these national fundraising events, or raise money on your own. Here are some ideas:
- Create your own fundraising walk – Choose a location that means a lot to your community. You can accept pledges for the distance you cover, or flat donations to benefit a breast cancer charity of your choice.
- Sponsored head shave – Show allegiance with breast cancer patients by doing a sponsored head shave. Your friends may not believe you’ll go through with it, so collect lots of donations and prove them wrong!
Don’t forget that you can also contact breast cancer charities to find out about other types of sponsored events in your area.
Hold a “Pink Party” for a Breast Cancer Charity
Invite your friends, family, neighbours and co-workers to “go pink” in support of breast cancer research and awareness. Your fundraising “Pink Party” can be themed in lots of different ways.
Hold a Pink Party at your house or a local community hall. Stock up on pink decorations, pink foods (or food colourings) and pink prizes for a special raffle. The music of choice? P!nk and Pink Floyd, of course! Every additional fundraising idea you can come up (like a pink bake sale) with is more money that’s being donated to a breast cancer charity.
You can also throw a Pink Party at work and ask your co-workers to donate money in exchange for wearing their wacky pink attire. Don’t forget to give out prizes for the best dressed!
Creative Fundraising Ideas for Breast Cancer Charities
If you are creatively-minded, use your skills to help your fundraising cause. Create something that addresses not only breast cancer research but also the hopes and joys of the real people who have beaten the disease. Some ideas:
- Make a breast cancer charity calendar
- Create breast cancer-themed artwork
- Sell charity poems
- Create and sell breast cancer charity ribbons
Breast cancer affects so many people – 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime, and countless friends and family will also be affected by the disease. No matter what breast cancer charity fundraising ideas you do, your work is making a real contribution towards the lives of those around you.
So get out there, get creative, get fundraising… and help make a difference for breast cancer charities.
