When it comes to raising funds for follicular lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects many people worldwide, creativity and innovation can make a world of difference. Fundraising not only generates financial support but also spreads awareness about this disease.
Here are some impactful community fundraising ideas that can foster connection and generate fundraising in support of the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation.
Organize a bake sale featuring homemade treats contributed by community members. Add a theme, such as “Purple Pastries” or “Cupcakes for a Cause,” to tie the event to cancer and follicular lymphoma awareness.
Host a walk or run in your community, allowing participants to register and raise sponsorships. Include fun elements like costumes, themed t-shirts, or “honor bibs” where participants can write the names of loved ones affected by cancer.
Invite local bands to perform in a friendly competition. Charge an entry fee and let attendees vote for their favorite group. Donations can also be collected during the event for additional support.
Plan a trivia night at a community center or local pub, with an entry fee for teams. Include rounds dedicated to cancer awareness facts to educate while fundraising.
Coordinate a friendly sports tournament, such as soccer, basketball, or volleyball, inviting teams to compete for a cause. Charge a registration fee and sell refreshments to raise additional funds.
Encourage residents to showcase their skills, from singing and dancing to comedy and magic. Sell tickets to the event and offer an option for virtual donations for those unable to attend in person.
Create a community memory garden where people can plant flowers or trees in honor of loved ones affected by cancer. Charge a fee for participation and include an opening ceremony for donors.
Host crafting workshops where participants make items like candles, jewellery, or knitted goods. The items can be sold, or the workshop itself can serve as a fundraiser with an entry fee.
Set up an outdoor movie screening and sell tickets, snacks, and drinks. Include a short informational segment about the charity or testimonials before the movie starts.
Recruit volunteers to host a car wash at a local venue. Offer the service in exchange for donations, with signage emphasizing the follicular lymphoma foundation’s mission.
Raising funds for the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation doesn’t have to follow a traditional path. By tapping into creativity and leveraging digital platforms, you can create meaningful, engaging campaigns that inspire action and build community support.
