3 EASY Ways to Raise Money for Pediatric Cancer This Summer
Summer is the perfect season to gather with friends and family, soak up the sun, and make a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. Whether you're hosting an event, baking up a storm, or getting active outdoors, there are so many ways to turn summer fun into lifesaving impact. Here are five easy and meaningful ways to raise money for pediatric cancer research this summer.
Host a Summer Bake Sale or Fundraising Event
Nothing says summer like sweet treats! Gather your neighbors, set up a stand at a community event, or even host a virtual bake sale. When you register your bake sale with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, we’ll send you a free event kit to help you get started.
If bake sales aren’t your thing, no worries! Whether it’s hosting a car wash with friends, organizing a talent show, or setting up a community sports tournament, there are endless ways to raise money for pediatric cancer research while having fun. The key is to gather people, get them involved, and make the event enjoyable for everyone. Contact marissa@beagoodcookie.org to get started.
Donate Your Birthday
Have a summer birthday? Instead of gifts, ask for donations to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Set up a Facebook or Instagram fundraiser, or create a simple fundraising page to share with friends and family. It’s a great way to celebrate while making an impact. Visit our Start a Fundraiser Page and click “Donate Your Birthday” to get started!
