As the leader of your fundraising team, obviously you will constantly be looking for new and better ways to set up a fundraiser for cancer. This can cause anxiety if you don’t really know what sort of a cancer fundraiser you should be looking at. Obviously you want the best one for your group and your goals, but because there are so many options, often it’s hard to know which road to take.
As it turns out, there’s not a fundraiser for cancer that is the right one for everyone, and in fact, most of our fundraisers can work for many different kinds of groups. As you’re browsing through our pages looking for a fundraising idea, keep an open mind and look at as many different fundraisers as you need to, to get an idea of what’s available and what might suit your team as a fundraiser for cancer. You may change your mind a few times, and that’s fine – exploring your options thoroughly will help ensure you choose a fundraiser that really works well for you.
Keep the size of your group in mind when you’re looking. If you’re worried about minimum orders, then you’ll want to choose a fundraiser with no or low minimums or free shipping. Cookie dough fundraisers are one of those low minimum items, and of course, it’s very popular with people of all ages. If you have a small group and are concerned about profit levels, why not try something like pizza fundraising cards or a scratch card fundraiser? They have some of the highest profits around and are very easy to set up as a fundraiser for cancer.
Don’t worry about running out of choices, because there’s just no end to the combinations of things you can do. Have a look through our fundraisers for cancer, and take your time choosing the right one for you and your fundraising team.
