“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by
what we give.”
- Sir Winston Churchill
Day of Event Onsite Fundraising
AUCTION (SILENT or LIVE)
Ask for contributions of unique items such as homemade toys or art, a hand-knitted
sweater, breakfast or dinner at someone's home, or a ride on someone's sailboat.
Display the items (or their description) prior to the event. Hold the auction over lunch or
at a convenient time. Another way to look at this is to have each team donate an item
to be bid on in a silent auction. Money raised from that item will go toward the team’s
total. This encourages teams to donate nice items.
BALLOON LAUNCH
For a donation, team members can purchase a biodegradable balloon and write a
message to a loved one. Near the end of the Relay, everyone gathers around with their
balloons and then you launch all of them at the same time.
BALLOON POP
Team members collect prizes as well as donate their own goods or services as prizes.
Before filling each balloon with helium, put a note inside with the name of the a prize.
People donate $1.00 to buy a balloon and pop it to find out what they win.
\
BEADS
Sell pink and purple beads, which can be used to make bracelets (4-18 year olds)
26 Fundraising Tips
BEAN BAG TOSS
$1 per throw or 3 throws for $2
BOWLING CHANCE
A $1.00 donation gives you the chance to throw two balls (toy bowling set). If you strike,
your name is entered into a drawing two times. If you spare with your second ball, your
name is entered into the drawing once. The team solicits a nice prize for the drawing.
CAKEWALK
Have each team bring a cake to the opening ceremonies at the Relay. Schedule the
cakewalk at the peak time of Relay when several hundred people will be in attendance,
and ask for a minimum donation of five dollars to participate. Place numbered squares
around the center of the track or on the stage, and have people follow the numbers.
When the music stops, so do the people (like musical chairs). A number is drawn and
the person on that space will win a cake!
CARICATURES
Offer caricatures at your campsite for a donation. It’s sure to be a hit!

am not absolutely sure). People made a donation,
chose a tune and Bethany sang from inside the box!
JAIL & BAIL
A former American Cancer Society fundraiser. For a donation, participants can be
arrested. For an additional donation, they can post their own bail.
KISS A PIG CONTEST

dishes and a person to help serve. At the Relay, in the cafeteria or in a tent, the
restaurants set up. Participants, and the public donate $5.
THE GREAT CHOCOLATE ESCAPE
All of the volunteers bring a chocolate dessert and guests are charged $5 for all you can
eat, $5 for a standard take-out container, or $10 for both. This concept could translate
to barbecue, sandwiches, whatever. Basically, all you need is a couple of banquet
tables to set all the food on, and someone to recruit the cooks. Sometimes we use
place cards (bought at card or party stores) to label foods. For a small local fundraiser
(a rural mill town of about 5000) it usually brings in about $2000, without a lot of effort.
TIKI TORCHES
Sell torches for $25-$100 each. Some torches were donated to loved ones in memory
or honor of their fight against cancer. Other torches were purchased and donated to the
local fire department. They ran out of the first bunch of torches so they purchased
more. They again ran out after selling a total of 135 torches. That was an additional
$13,500 for this event.
VIDEO SALE

6

activity can require a donation or be done as a package deal. Use a stand up cutout of a
tux and wedding dress for heads to take a photo. All for fun!
Please note: this would, of course, not be a legally binding activity!

radio station for 6 hours to place the pies of two citizens simultaneously on the auction
block to receive bids by call-in to the radio station. All monies donated would be
donated to the American Cancer Society. During each 15-minute segment the
"celebrities" would be on the air being interviewed by the dj. This not only creates an
awareness of the American Cancer Society, its cause and goals, but it also brought to
the listening audience the personal stories of each of the celebrities of why people are
involved. In one case, there were 40 celebrities involved in this type of event they and
they raised over $14,000.

per plate.

residence halls by dropping silver coins and cash into their jar!

the chamber of commerce.
RESTAURANTS TO THE RESCUE

(Sample letter for Team Captains or Participants)
Dear Team Captains (or participants):
When my daughter was diagnosed with cancer 7 years ago, our family had one
goal: To Beat Cancer. It was a rough two-years of treatment, side effects, sleepless
nights, family stress and job stress, but we reached out goal! Samantha is now cancer
free and now has a family of her own.
When my friend Stuart asked me to co-chair this year’s Relay, we set a goal of
raising $65,000. With help from all of you and our wonderful community, we had a
wonderful Relay. Our net to date is $53,000. Just like my family’s goal was to see our
daughter beat cancer, our Relay Committee’s goal is to get to their $65,000!
Two teams have already stepped up to hold one last post-event fundraiser to
help us meet our goal. If your team plus 13 more teams each raise $700 each, we will
meet our goal. And who knows … maybe instead of a fundraiser someone at your
company or who does business with your company will just write a check for the whole
amount! It might work! You never know who will help unless you ask!
We have until July 30 to get this done. Let’s meet our Relay goal. And let’s beat
cancer!
Please call me and tell me if your team can help. Here’s my phone number and e-mail
address.
Sincerely,
Patty Farrell
Co-Chair
Relay For Life of Peason County

Rain Dampens Track, but not Spirit of the
American Cancer Society Relay For Life
Dear Friend,
The weather didn’t hold out for our American Cancer Society Relay For Life, but our
dedication to cancer is still as strong as ever! We have $22,000 to go to reach our goal,
and we are excited that individuals and teams are stepping forward with donations that
are helping us get there!
If you didn’t make it to Relay, or had to leave early, we wanted you to know that we are
still accepting donations, which will be put toward your team total and the Relay For
Life.
We sincerely thank all cancer survivors, team leaders, team members, donors and
sponsors for their support during this soggy season.
Thanks to you, we are making great progress in the fight against cancer through
research, education, advocacy and service, and your dollars are directly helping us to
save lives, prevent diagnosis, and improve quality of life.
Donations to help reach our goal can be sent to ________ at ________________.
If you have any questions, please contact ___________________ at __________.

(Suggested e-mail blast)
Hey Relayers!
We DID it! We had a great Relay at the fairgrounds last month. We bravely set a
$100,000 goal and while we did not meet it (yet) we know we still will!
Many of you are giving one last push to raise the additional $28,000 that we still
need. This means that if each team raises an additional $400 that we will make our
goal!
Would you consider sending out one more round of e-mails, mentioning how we did
($72,000 is not bad!!), and asking for donations of $25, $50, $100 or more to get
us to our $100,000? (Mentioning specific amounts is proven to work!) Remember
to include your personal reason for Relaying!
Our deadline is July 30.
Sincerely,
Pete Featherington
Chair
P.S., Of course one e-mail to the right relative or friend who would gladly write a
check for $500 or $1,000 is another way to get this done. It does work for some
folks. Or, if your company does a lot of business with a particular vendor, the
vendor might be glad to help in a big way too . . . if asked!
Thanks so much for helping us reach goal and for helping the wonderful work of the
American Cancer Society in our community.

The Relay For Life of XXXXX was a great opportunity to come together, and we couldn’t
have done it without you! More than XXX teams signed up to participate in the Relay.
Although we all feel that what we set out to achieve was dampened by rain, we all know
that the Relay For Life experience creates the awareness that the American Cancer
Society is there to lend us all support and information when needed. I am even more
committed to talk to my friends about the American Cancer Society Relay For Life next
year!
Independence Day is around the corner, and many of us will gather our friends and
family for a 4th of July celebration. This holiday provides me a great opportunity to
reach out to those who have not yet made a donation to support my Relay For Life
team. We will be using our picnic on the 4th to do just that.
I would encourage everyone who is a part of Relay For Life to do the same.
