Get Creative: Big Ideas for Big Impact
Think outside the box and make it your own. Find exciting ways to rally your community and support the fight against colorectal cancer.
Virtual Fundraisers
Launch a fundraiser from anywhere using our online platform. Link your page to Facebook and watch support grow across your network.
Local and National Business Campaigns
Partner with a business for a round-up campaign or special promotion where a portion of sales supports the fight against colorectal cancer. Add donation jars or co-branded events to expand community reach. These partnerships help extend the reach of your event and foster community involvement.
Awareness Events
Bring your community together to learn about colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and treatment. Team up with healthcare professionals for seminars, lunch-and-learns, Q&A sessions, or interactive workshops – onsite or virtual.
Social Gatherings and Dinners
Turn a shared meal into a mission. Host a dinner, brunch, or social where guests enjoy great food and hear powerful survivor stories and advocacy efforts. Add a silent auction or live donations to amplify impact.
Sporting Events
Channel the spirit of our signature Climb for a Cure by creating your own active fundraiser; like charity running, hosting a golf tournament, playing a soccer match, hosting a bowling night, or even leading a community hike. Invite local businesses to sponsor prizes or match donations for each goal or mile.
Creative Community Events
Showcase local talent with an art show, concert, or talent night. Charge a small admission fee and donate the proceeds to colorectal cancer research and advocacy. This approach allows local artists and performers to participate while drawing crowds who are eager to support.
In-Kind Drives and Auctions
Host an online or in-person auction and direct proceeds toward colorectal cancer research and patient support.
Friends and Family Festivities
Bring your friends and family together for a memorable event – game night, backyard movie, karaoke – pick a favorite gathering and add raffles or donation stations so everyone can have fun while making a difference.
