Breast cancer is a terrible disease that affects our moms, sisters, wives, and daughters. But even with thousands of new cases being diagnosed every year, no one is taking the fight against breast cancer lying down. In fact, quite the opposite is true with the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk being a fantastic example of people literally coming to their feet to raise money and show their support for those dealing with the disease. Participating in the walk requires walkers to raise a set amount of money and that means it’s time to do a breast cancer walk fundraiser.
A breast cancer 3 day fundraiser should be uplifting, fun, easy to do, and offer high profits. Since you need to raise thousands of dollars on your own, it makes a lot of sense to try and break down your fund raising needs into smaller chunks that you can tackle one at a time. And depending on what part of the country you live in and when your particular walk will take place, you can even plan seasonally specific programs to maximize the money you raise.
For example, one of the most popular breast cancer walk fundraisers, by far, is the flower fundraiser. Simple to sell and with a great 50% profit margin, flower bulbs have quickly become a go-to fund raising idea for breast cancer walk participants all over the country. It is available in the spring and again in the fall but most participants find more success selling spring bulbs when the vast majority of their customers are focused on their gardens. The bulbs also serve as a great symbol of growth and new life in the face of tragedy.
Another option that is catching on is the Online Donation Fundraiser. It provides an easy to manage and simple (and free) to start way to collect donations from your online contacts. It has a great set of tools that send out reminders and thank you letters to your donors. This program is an extremely popular program among those doing nonprofit fundraisers because it is effective whether your group has 10,000 members or if it’s just you raising money.
