Why Fundraise?
Fundraising empowers you and your community to make a BIG difference for a cause that matters to you. Every dollar you raise funds Fred Hutch’s groundbreaking work, allowing our more than 5,700 researchers, clinicians, and staff to push beyond today's treatments and drive urgently needed advances from the laboratory to the clinic as quickly as possible. With every donation you receive, every day of training you log, and every mile you ride, walk, or run, you put your dedication to work for innovative research and compassionate care. So go ahead — you’ve got this. And we’re here to help!
Ideas for Fundraising
Not sure how to kick things off? Here are tips Obliteriders have found helpful.
Feel Good About Asking
When you ask for a donation, you’re giving people the chance to help improve and save lives. That’s something to feel great about!
Share Your Story
It is powerful to share why you Obliteride. Your personal story will inspire people to donate! Want to share your Obliteride story with us? Tell us why you Obliteride.
Get Creative!
Offer people the opportunity to join you for a training walk or ride if they donate; host a barbeque for supporters; or invite donors to cook a family recipe with you. Your dedication will inspire people to give.
Harness Social Media
Social media is a great tool for fundraising. Post pictures, challenges, and personal messages; ask for donations; and share a link where people can donate!
Offer Incentives
For $10, donors get a dedicated mile; $50 chooses your training workout; and $200 puts their name on your Obliteride jersey or T-shirt. (Obliteriders say this approach is very effective.)
Ask Everyone!
A lot of people have a reason to help cure cancer faster! Don’t be afraid to ask your coworkers, book groups, and friends to donate. And remember — people are busy, so it's OK to send them a gentle nudge. Your community will appreciate a reminder to support you!
