You and your family and friends can help support life-saving cancer research at City of Hope by organizing unique PINK fundraising events in your community.

Here are some idea starters:

• Set up a PINK lemonade stand with the kids, with simple handmade “Who do you PINK for?” 
  signage. Be sure the kids ask each customer who they PINK for!
  
  
• Start a “Pounds for Hope” program in your neighborhood or office. Ask friends and relatives to pledge a donation by the pound for your weight-loss effort over 2 to 3 months. Go for that bonus for reaching your goal!
  
  
• Is there a cheerleader in the family? Encourage them to create a “Cheer for Hope” program at school. Pick a special game, and ask friends and family to contribute a certain dollar amount per routine.
  
  
• Getting married? Tell your friends you want a “Who Do You PINK for?” shower, where guests donate money in lieu of gifts. Theme the shower in pink—pink cookies, pink drinks, pink flowers, etc.
  
  
• Having a birthday? Call it a PINKday and request that in lieu of gifts, people bring contributions to City of Hope in honor of someone they PINK for.
  
  
• Do your kids play on sports teams? Designate a PINK game, and have friends and family sponsor your child’s accomplishments (e.g. donate every time they kick the soccer ball, shoot the basketball, tackle someone in football, get a point in tennis, etc.)
  
  
• Time to clear out that garage? Stage the Ultimate PINK Garage Sale with several neighbors and SELL SELL SELL!
  
  
• Encourage your kids to get “A’s for Hope”…ask aunts, uncles and grandparents to pledge a donation based on the number of “A’s” earned on each report card.
