fundraising fun
Well I am again committed to the Penrith relay for life. having been involved prior to my diagnosis of Breast cancer I thought about switching. But after all, ALL CANCERS SUCK BIG TIME. In my family...
Your efforts are much appreciated, @"cranky granny". Many cancer organisations are non-profits and fundraising is essential. Sometimes people mistakenly believe we're government-funded, but we're not. Less than 20% of BCNA's funding comes from government. The rest comes from the community. Our information and support kits, our publications and resources, our member services, the online network, the telephone counselling service, our research and advocacy - none of this would be possible without the generous support of our partners, volunteers, members, and other supporters. Some people trek across the globe to raise $3000. Some people hold a morning tea with friends to raise a $300. Some people send us $5-notes in the post (sometimes that's all they can afford to give and these are always so moving!). People drop their spare change in our tins at Bakers Delight. Every little bit helps!
