Do Something for CancerCare is a “Do It Yourself” way to raise funds for a great cause, and participating is fun and easy! Our Do Something for CancerCare campaign runs from Sept. 6 until Oct. 20.

Now, more than ever, we need your help! When you support CancerCare, you make our mission possible as we provide help and hope to anyone impacted by a cancer diagnosis, including caregivers, families and the bereaved. CancerCare’s support services are free.

Whether or not you can personally donate, you can ask your family and friends to support you in any activity you choose. Some things you can do are:

• Run/walk a 5k
• Host a workout class
• Host a lemonade stand
• Cooking/baking contest
• Hold a car wash
• Plan a game night

You will be making a major impact on the lives of people affected by cancer. No matter what you choose, everyone can Do Something!
