Helping Cancer patients through Fundraising

Cancer has been one of the world’s top killers since 1600 B.C.

Studies for its prevention and cure has become apparent ever

since. A lot of cancer researches were forced to discontinue as

this kind of studies take a lot of time, effort, and money.

Fundraising has been the most effective way to keep these

studies going. Because cancer is a class of diseases, it is unlikely

that there will be a single cure more than there will be a single

treatment for all infectious diseases. That’s why it is imperative

that these studies are continually conducted. Even though

cancer research institutions are organized by colleges, health institutions, the government and private

organizations, keeping up with the expenses has been exceptionally back-breaking. Funds collected

from donations and fundraising activities are used to buy laboratory equipments, finance mass

awareness programs, pharmaceuticals and maintaining institutional expenses. Managing these

organizations demands a lot of time and dedication.

Thanks to innovative ways to keep funds coming, cancer research organizations combine contemporary

methods to keep the activities in undeviating progress. One of the most remarkable way of promotion is

the internet. Solicitations from corporations, government officials and celebrities have been one of the

utmost sources of money. Even docket advertising, a very prominent form of advertising in Australia,

has been used to post fundraising events that associate to these organizations. Social networking sites

have also been a crucial part of spreading awareness, education and support. It is vital to make everyone

aware of the significance of these studies. Another practical way to gain support is through coupon

advertising. Research institutions offer vouchers or tickets in exchange of financial discounts for clinical

services and pharmaceutical products. Practical methods like selling handicrafts made by cancer patients

are a unique way to raise money. Highly valuable items are being auctioned for the benefits of cancer

research institutions.

Looking for the right company, group of people, or prominent individuals is

an important part of raising money. Some organizations directly contact

people through phone advertising. A more personal approach is considered

a very implicit way of catching people’s hearts. It makes them feel more

involved in some ways. Helping or doing something for a cause is very

fulfilling, heart whelming, and undeniably uplifting for even an ordinary

human. In some cases, institutions even take advantage of politicians who

are willing to donate in exchange for publicity. Even though it’s an

improbable act of a moral sense, it is sometimes inevitable for a more

paramount cause. A crystal clear example of this kind of irony is asking solicitations from tobacco

companies. Imagine manufacturers of the number one cause of lung cancer in the world, helping in

funding a research that cures or prevents a disease that their product can induce, talk about washing

your hands for your sins.

Fundraising in general serves a sole purpose, a cause, may it be to save lives, to restore peace, to protect

nature, to save a species from extinction, some for even more personal matters like funding educational

needs, medical support, financially aiding a whole village. In a nutshell, the fundamental purpose is to

help. Fundraising for cancer research has been triumphant in order to discover more ways to fight

cancer. As time passes, technology has become a prime medium of possibly rectifying all types of

cancer. But it is also important to remember that technology these days are not cheap. Cancer research

organizations are doing every bit of effort in spreading the need for financial support with the help of

web ads, mobile phone advertising, social media, newspapers, etc. This is a vital part of propagating

awareness to people. There is a boundless remedy which is kept undiscovered and supporting these

studies could save billions of lives.
