Did you know that Thanksgiving is a prime time of year for successful fundraising? Your charity organization can take advantage of the scrumptious holiday by offering Thanksgiving themed fundraising efforts to help busy families pull off their perfect turkey dinner, and give thanks for what’s truly important. Many families don’t realize, as they sit down to their overloaded table, that there are hungry people in their own community. To help raise awareness, get your family involved in some charity work this holiday season by lending a hand at the soup kitchen, collecting canned goods, organizing a bike ride for charity and more.

Help the eager young athletes in your community fulfill their championship dreams with some unique fundraising efforts to help raise money and funds for out of town games and equipment. You might be surprised at how many members of your community would love to help support your sports team. Don’t simply rely on players and their parents to fund your season, and stop using the same tired old candy, fast food, and baking tactics. Try some truly unique and specific football-themed events to ensure their support for years to come. For instance, selling personalized player and team paraphernalia; hosting fun, football-focused sports games; and creating efforts that will help the greater community.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, but do you know why there are numerous national efforts around the United States in support of the fatal disease? Even though folks are aware of the dangers of lung cancer, many are unaware of the developments and progress in lung cancer research, and the people touched by this tragic disease in their own country and community. Lung Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to shine a light on the vital issues. You can do your part by getting involved in the efforts of some of the larger and more established lung cancer charities, or you can do just as much good fighting the disease and raising awareness on a local, grass-roots level.
