Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Fundraising

Kristen O’Neill is scaling the highest peaks in Europe for her "Crown of Cureope" fundraiser supporting the American Association for Cancer Research® (AACR). Have you thought about how to turn your passion into a fundraiser for cancer research?

The possibilities are endless—and incredibly personal. Here are a few ideas to spark inspiration:

Celebrate with purpose: Donate for your birthday, anniversary, or other milestone.
Take on a challenge: Run, bike, or walk—alone or as a team.
Get creative: Host a bake sale, trivia night, or sports tournament.
Share your talents: Sell handmade items or teach others something new.

No matter what you choose, you’ll help accelerate lifesaving cancer research. When you start your DIY fundraiser, you’ll get:

A personalized fundraising webpage.
Easy tools to share your webpage and collect donations.
Tips to help you reach (and exceed!) your goal.

Every effort counts, and yours could inspire others to make an impact too.

Thank you for driving progress against cancer.
