Put some Fun Into September “Fun”draising
You can help be the difference in the fight against ovarian cancer by hosting you own fundraiser for Be The Difference Foundation. Money that you raise will help support women in their fight against ovarian cancer. Checkout some of our fun ideas below!
Host a Lemonade Stand
There are many ways to give back as we approach September, ovarian cancer awareness month. Hosting a teal lemonade stand would put a great cause behind an age-old fundraising favorite. With food coloring, or crystal light, the lemonade can be turned teal, and is sure to resonate with neighbors, supporters, and pedestrians alike. This is a great activity to involve kids! Clearly communicate that the proceeds will be donated to Be the Difference Foundation, an organization dedicated to increasing survival for women battling ovarian cancer, and enjoy!
Dog Wash
Consider fundraising with man’s best friend! This relatively inexpensive idea could be the talk of the town, or at least the neighborhood! Agree to wash a few dogs for a fixed price, and clearly communicate that the proceeds will be going to Be the Difference Foundation, an organization dedicated to increasing survival for women battling ovarian cancer. Pawesome!
