Organize a Third Party Event to Benefit the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation
The Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation enthusiastically invites you to organize an event that benefits our Foundation helping us make sure that each person with cutaneous lymphoma gets the best care possible.
Events that are held by our supporters that raise funds to advance our mission make a significant impact in our ability to provide the programs and services we offer to our patients and others who rely on our Foundation as a daily resource. Our event organizers range from individuals to families to companies to community groups.
Here are some possible fundraising events that you can consider holding to benefit our Foundation:
| Dinner Party | If you love entertaining, this is the event for you! Invite your friends, family and colleagues over for a dinner party and ask guests to make a donation to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation as a gift for their participation in the evening. The Foundation can provide you with an informational video to play at the party along with educational materials, as well, making it an enjoyable night of education and inspiration. |
| Walk, Run or Bike Event | Plan a walk, run or bike event in your neighborhood and raise pledges with your friends and family. Walkers, runners and bikers can purchase signature Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation t-shirts or bike jerseys to wear during the event. These events are among the most popular that have been organized to benefit the Foundation and are fantastic for building awareness and support for our work. |
| Golf Tournament | Do you love to golf? Have plenty of friends and colleagues who would love to hit the links to benefit a great cause like supporting the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation? Then holding a golf tournament would be a perfect third party event for you to organize! Proceeds from foursome sales, sponsorships, auctions, program book ads and donations all add up to fantastic support for the Foundation while having a lot of fun, too. |
| Bowling Event | Plan a fun day or evening out bowling with friends and family. Funds can be raised through participation fees, a silent auction and raffles. |
| Auction | Plan your own auction by inviting friends and family to donate antiques, art, sports memorabilia, gift baskets or anything else they may wish – anything can be auctioned off. An online auction can be organized using www.missionfish.org. |
| Raffles | Everyone who donates $20 (or another amount) receives an entry into a drawing for a fantastic prize. The prize could be an exciting dining/entertainment package or a trip giveaway! This is something you can do easily at work or with a group of friends or family anytime. |
| Seasonal and Birthday Celebrations | Encourage friends and family to make donations to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation in lieu of gifts at the holidays and for birthday celebrations --- a very special and meaningful way to support our mission. |
| Company Jeans Days | Designate days at your office as jeans days or casual days to benefit the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation where employees donate a specific amount, perhaps $5 or $10, in exchange for their ability to wear jeans that day. |
