Personal Fundraising Pages:
A great way to show support to a friend or family member, express gratitude to a clinician or staff member from the Center, or to honor a loved one’s memory by increasing cancer awareness is through a personal fundraising page. The easy-to-create page can help you raise funds for the Center’s life-enhancing services, and is dedicated to your cause, event, or occasion. The pages work well for tributes, birthdays, and weddings, to name a few.
Other Types of Gifts:
