Resources and Tools
You didn’t think you were on your own, did you?!
Schools Against Cancer offers many fundraising tools and resources to set our changemakers up for success.
Take the first steps to become a successful fundraiser!
Set up your fundraising dashboard
Let everyone know WHY you are joining Schools Against Cancer. Upload a before photo and personalize your page by sharing your story and reason for participating. The more information you share when asking for donations, the better!
Set a fundraising goal
Decide how much you want to challenge yourself and your school.
Get to work
Type up emails and text messages with links to your fundraising page.
Personalize any emails or texts for important people in your life and have a generic version to send to everyone else.
Post on social media and tell your story. Don’t forget to include a photo!
Use some of our tools to print out signs and posters for school, work, local shops and community centers.
Always remember to check for responses and share the impact of where the funds go.
Say thank you!
Order note cards, send an email, send a text or make a phone call. Make sure your donors know how important their support is! When you thank them, ask them to spread the word.
Enjoy your event pack!
After you register, a coordinator will reach out to you to confirm your event information.
You will be sent a Schools Against Cancer Event Pack to help kickstart your fundraising and event promotion. Some materials include: posters, fliers, goal thermometer, event planning guide, notecards, stickers, wristbands, business cards and more! Use the posters and fliers around your school, or hang them up at your local coffee shop or library. Spread awareness of your fundraiser by handing out business cards, and wear your Changemaker goodies with pride!
Social media tools
Connect to Facebook
Facebook fundraising is the easiest way to meet your fundraising goal. On average, participants who use Facebook raise $180 more than those who don’t. If you don’t have a Facebook page, ask a parent, guardian or friend to post for you.
You can also post a link to your fundraising dashboard in an Instagram story or in your Instagram or TikTok bio.
