For those interested in putting on a fundraiser, please contact SFA Fundraising Director, Norine Spencer at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 301-253-8687. She can help you get started and will answer any questions you may have. The SFA has tools for you to use such as our Fundraising Handbook, website assistance and online donations, marketing assistance, and additional tools and suggestions to make the most of your fundraising activities.
Because of the grassroots nature of the SFA, we are relying on your local ingenuity to develop ideas for fundraising for sarcoma research. But rest assured that we will help facilitate your efforts so that you can have a successful event! Possible fundraising ideas can range from a cocktail reception or happy hour, wine tasting, bowling tournament, lemonade stand, garage sale, car wash, organization of a local run/walk, or hosting of a dinner at home, to the staging of larger events like golf tournaments and Gala’s.
The following is a list of Sarcoma Foundation of America fundraisers happening throughout the U.S. to help raise funds to find new treatments for sarcoma. Please get involved!
The 9th Annual Bud’s Run is eagerly being planned. Bud’s Run is a 5K Run/Walk that remembers and honors Bud Swanson and those that have “moved on” as a result of sarcoma. Bud loved to run and to race and he loved coaching runners. Bud’s Run is a joyous gathering of runners, friends of runners, and those who understand that life is precious and deserves celebration every day.
