Three ways to support the Prevent Cancer Foundation on National Nonprofit Day
It’s National Nonprofit Day! We’re proud to be in such good company with nonprofits across the U.S. and around the globe committed to making the world a better place. What better day than the 17th to support your favorite nonprofit? Read below to see three ways to support the Prevent Cancer Foundation today or any day of the year.
1. Donate: Invest in prevention
Every dollar counts! Each donation the Foundation receives helps further our mission of empowering people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection. Your donation could support cancer research fellowships, grants for community-based organizations and so much more.
You can donate with confidence knowing that the Prevent Cancer Foundation is an accredited charity with the Better Business Bureau and a top-rated charity with Charity Watch, has been given 4 stars by Charity Navigator, and holds a Platinum Transparency rating from Candid (formerly Guidestar).
2. Host an event: Rally support and spread awareness
Making a difference doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking—you can turn everyday events and activities into fundraisers. Have a special occasion like a birthday or a wedding coming up? Hosting a car wash in your community? Do you organize a regular poker tournament with friends or family? You can turn any of these everyday events into fundraisers for cancer prevention and early detection.
Events don’t have to be in person—create your own streaming fundraiser and host a speed run, plan a variety performance or share your art or music to make a difference in cancer prevention and early detection.
If you’re looking for more help hosting an event, please contact Amanda Wallach, Senior Manager of Events and Advocacy.
3. Share the mission: Amplify the message
The Prevent Cancer Foundation has free resources to help you achieve better health outcomes, screenings you need, find free and low-cost screenings—so make sure you share this wealth of knowledge. If you work in an office, print out a screening chart and put it on the office refrigerator. Send an email to your friends and family encouraging them to take a free, two minute screening quiz to learn what routine cancer screenings they need. Make sure you’re following us on all social media channels and share your favorite posts with your followers.
There are so many ways to celebrate National Nonprofit Day and support the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Whether you’re planning a fundraising event, spreading awareness or volunteering time and expertise, you’re directly contributing to our collective efforts in combating cancer and improving people’s lives.
Thank you for standing alongside the Prevent Cancer Foundation and supporting a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all.
