september 1 – 30
We invite our community to support local business partners across the Charlotte region throughout September to spark change for rare cancer heroes worldwide.
Save the date for Go Gold at Goldie’s live concert on September 30, and stay tuned for more events!
In honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, ISF is rallying our community throughout September to advocate for all kids with cancer.
All programs benefit ISF and are designed to shine a spotlight on the reality behind rare cancers and support the courageous families affected by these devastating diseases.
Partnership Examples
Beneficiary Program Ideas
Businesses of all shapes and sizes are invited to participate!
DINE + DONATE
Drive revenue and foster a strong sense of community at your restaurant(s). Donate a portion of proceeds from every food and beverage sale during a specific period of time at one or multiple locations.
MENU MATCH
Offer a special menu item or ongoing promotion that supports kids with cancer. Donate a predetermined percentage of proceeds or a specific dollar amount from each sale at one or multiple locations.
GRAND OPENING OR RIBBON CUTTING PARTNERSHIP
Celebrate an exciting expansion or new business opening by giving back. Donate a percentage of sales, a flat donation amount or a combination of both to reinforce your business’s commitment to its community.
ROUND UP PROGRAM
Encourage customers to donate small amounts of money towards a specific cause. Give customers the option to “round up” their total to the nearest dollar or a specified amount to support kids with cancer. These programs are often integrated into participating businesses’ point-of-sale (POS) systems.
HOST A PRIVATE EVENT
Harness the spirit of holidays or a special occasion to support meaningful causes and make a positive impact. Proceeds from fundraising activities, such as donation drives, silent auctions, raffles or merchandise sales are very effective. Businesses or organizations sponsoring the event may also provide financial support, in-kind donations or volunteer assistance to help execute the event and maximize its impact.
IN-KIND DONATIONS
Give the gift of goods, services or experiences that can be offered as auction or raffle prizes. By promoting attractive prizes and creating excitement around a raffle, ISF can maximize participation and generate significant contributions to support charitable initiatives at future events.
GIFT CARD DRIVE
Host your own gift card drive to support families in need. Donate physical or digital gift cards from local businesses, retailers, restaurants and service providers that can help offset financial burdens for families undergoing pediatric cancer treatment throughout the year.
