Fundraise
Raise funds for a cure, your way.
We are planning projects and events to raise funds, and there are many ways you can help us fundraise too. We are always ready to offer our help, expertise and inspiration.
Eight ideas
Ideas for the community, school, work and home.
Start with one of these, or bring your own. Your ideas are always welcome.
In the community
Car wash
Get your kids and friends together and wash cars in exchange for donations.
Lemonade stand
Set one up with the kids or a few friends on a warm summer day.
Concert for a Cure
Find a band that will hold a benefit concert for Cure Blau. You can hold the event at a local bar, a community hall or even in your backyard.
Golf Fore a Cure
Hold a golf tournament with community-donated prizes. It is a great way to raise a large amount, but it takes a significant amount of work. We have literature we can send on how to organize a successful tournament.
Silent auction
Tie in with a local community event by holding a silent auction of items donated by local vendors. We can provide template letters for requesting donations from vendors.
At school
Snack days
Sell a special snack to students at recess and donate the proceeds. Popcorn, hot chocolate, ice cream and watermelon are all good ideas.
At work
Go Casual for a Cure
Employees donate $5 to wear casual clothes for the day.
At home
Cocktail party
Charge a flat fee for entry or ask for a donation per drink. Make it a safe-ride-home event by giving out free bus tickets.
