SCOPE walkers

(Also all bakers, artists, yard sale fanatics and car wash enthusiasts...)

Summer is here, which means Team CFCF will be out in force across the nation raising funds for lifesaving neuroendocrine cancer research. Between mid-July and late October, Team CFCF will be participating in no fewer than 8 athletic events nationwide!

There is still time to get involved in many of our events. Read on and see what grabs your attention!

Participating in athletic events has long been a cornerstone of our grassroots fundraising strategy and we're always looking for new people to join our teams. We are also looking to participate in some new events in 2012 so if you have a personal favorite (or favorites), by all means let us know.

If athletic endeavors aren't your thing, we have you covered! There are a nearly infinite variety of ways in which you can support the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation so to learn more about how to help (without sweating), click here!

Get Fit, Have Fun, Raise Funds
Box2Anne, Nancy and Kathy

Nancy Lindholm, CFCF's inspirational founder, believes staying active is a key ingredient in the fight against neuroendocrine cancer. Over the years, Nancy has been spotted running, cycling, walking, dancing, playing tennis, and paddleboarding in the Pacific as she's continued to raise the profile of carcinoid and related neuroendocrine cancers, proving to the world that Nancy is the boss - not her cancer!

 

Whether you're a patient, caregiver, family member or friend, you won't regret getting involved with Team CFCF. You'll meet great people, share lots of fun experiences, and together raise much needed funds that are already making a difference in the fight to cure these rare cancers.

To discuss your ideas and suggestions, e-mail Ellen or call her at 617-948-2514. 

Support CFCF Without Breaking a Sweat!

MTH DinnerBox4We get it. Athletic events aren't for everyone.

 

Thankfully, there are a multitude of ways to support CFCF that don't involve running sneakers, water bottles, and pounding the pavement. Whether you want to set up a lemonade stand, organize a car wash, sponsor a motorcycle rally, or host a house party, the options are boundless and the size and scope is totally up to you. Fundraising events take all sizes and shapes and there's no "right" way to get people involved and interested in supporting CFCF and our ambitious research agenda.

We have tools and tips to help you organize a house party, and lots of experience with a range of other fundraising events. So if you have an idea, go for it! We're always here to help and would love to hear from you and work with you to bring your ideas to life.

Ideas? Questions? Suggestions? Email Ellen or call 617-948-2514.
