⛳Case study: Nurture Fundraising Activity Year Round Scramble for Sight is an annual golf tournament, dinner and auction that has been running annually for twenty years. Scott Burt & Sherri Kroonenberg have been chairing the event since it’s inception. In that time the money raised has gone directly into research to fight blindness. Scott is happy to proclaim “We are winning”. The very first genetic treatment approved by the FDA was because of research funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Vision can be restored with one injection in each eye for patients suffering blindness due to a particular gene mutation. The fight is not over though, there are still many retinal degenerative diseases that still need to be cured. The Scramble for Sight golf tournament is a one-day event starting with golfer registration, exciting tournament activities on the course then coming together for an open air dinner, silent & live auction. In 20 years the event has raised over two million dollars and even more exciting the millions has been used to fund research, treatments and cures for blindness. This year's event https://lnkd.in/eE8mHbVj With all this fundraising success Scott’s best tip for event fundraising is short on explanation but long on implementation. Nurture ALL participants in the golf tournament, doing so will multiply the efforts and amplify the message.

An experiment on the power of the network. My LinkedIn network spans state lines and reaches multiple countries. Likewise, and with devastating consequences, cancer knows no limits or boundaries. So the experiment is this: Can my network support my Pelotonia fund raising commitment with contributions from 10 different states and at least 3 different countries? If you would like to be a part of the experiment while donating to an amazing cause whose goal is #EndingCancer, click this link: https://lnkd.in/ePyZSX6M

100 push-ups a day Cancer Research UK (CRUK) challenge (April 2024) Day Eight/Week One Update Give thanks, one week down, THREE to go! 🤣 —Shout out to Makeda Hazel-Maynard who also took up the challenge. So far I am mostly doing incline/elevated push-ups. Using either the kitchen worktop, bed, or the penultimate step of the staircase. I have also been trying some full push-ups, but my arm/upper body strength still needs to progress a lot further! Maybe before this challenge is done, I'll manage more than one at a time. We have to start where we are at and progress from there. A principle applicable to more than exercise. As is the principle of using what you have in your hand/surroundings/within reach etc., to aide you in reaching your goals. If you feel able to donate, please scan the QR code or click the link below/in my bio. Peace and blessings, Janice https://lnkd.in/e7wuASq3 *if interested you can watch clips of me in action via the 100 push-ups a day playlist on YouTube https://lnkd.in/eZNPd9b8 #pushupschallenge #cancerresearchuk #100pushupsadaychallenge #imustbemad #100pushupchallenge #supportthecause #fundraising #jjsmuse

Sarcoma UK is taking action. We're racing against time: For every 1 cm growth in a soft-tissue sarcoma, the chance of cure drops 3-5%. Every day counts with sarcoma. Here are some key areas we are working on to improve sarcoma outcomes: ➡️ Our 'Delays Cost Lives' report highlighted the urgent need for policymakers to prioritise faster and more accurate diagnosis. ➡️ We collaborate with partners to investigate why diagnostic pathways for suspected sarcoma patients vary. ➡️ Since 2009, we have invested almost £7 million in 87 research projects across the UK. Our research programme is shaped by the perspectives of patients and their families. By promoting awareness, funding research, and advocating for better diagnostic practices, we are making strides in the fight against sarcoma.

The Mats Paulsson Foundations is the collective name for three different foundations; "Mats Paulsson Foundation" (instituted 2003), "The Stefan Paulsson Cancer Fund Foundation" (2008), and "Mats Paulsson Foundation for Research, Innovation, and Societal Development" (2011), where the latter owns Medicon Village. Since their inception, these foundations have distributed a total of 219,086,000 SEK for charitable purposes to promote human health and better lives, with 27,715,000 SEK being distributed in 2023.   Sustainability is important and increasingly vital for all operations. Medicon Village not only has a sustainable ownership model, where surplus funds are reinvested into academic research in the form of donations, but also operates sustainably verified since 2023. Both these facts are beneficial to our members, since they can claim to be located in a sustainable environment.   Pictured: Mats Helmfrid and Mats Paulsson, as the latter was awarded an honorary reward by the Municipality of Lund in November 2023.   #funsportlovsfacts #sustainable #sciencepark Lunds kommun | Lund University | Malmö University Skånes universitetssjukhus (Skåne University Hospital) Region Skåne – utveckling & innovation

*** Fundraising News *** Today we are highlighting Mikes bike ride for research into NF2 related Schwannomatosis (NF2). Mike is one of our trio of fundraisers who did the epic Pennine Way trek for NF2 last September and he's decided he's not resting on his laurels for too long to raise more funds this year. Mike says:- "I am aiming to raise £500 for NF2 Bio solutions UK. Their support in research for Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is amazing. Anything we can do to aid them is certainly worthwhile. Research into finding a cure for a rare genetic condition, NF2-related schwannomatosis - NF2 for short. My reason for doing this is that In 2019, my friend Andy’s daughter Rebecca, now 35, was diagnosed with NF2. In the same year, my other friend Noel’s daughter Hayley, now 34, was diagnosed with Schwannomatosis. My ride will take me 6 days, from... Bognor to Lyndhurst Lyndhurst to Wareham Wareham to Monkton Wyld Monkton Wyld to Exeter Exeter to Launceston Launceston to Bodmin" We are delighted to have you along Mike, and we thankyou for your support.

TeacherActive are raising money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic and progressive genetic disorder that primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems. This condition results from mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene, leading to the production of thick and sticky mucus. This mucus can clog airways and ducts, causing various complications and affecting the overall health of individuals with CF. 🍋 Donate Today: Your financial support will directly contribute to ongoing research initiatives, medical advancements, and support programs for individuals and families affected by cystic fibrosis. 🌻Spread the Word: Share this post with your friends, family, and social networks. Awareness is a powerful tool, and together, we can reach more people, garnering increased support for this important cause. 💛 Donate Now and Be a Beacon of Hope! https://lnkd.in/ekv5iv_t Your generosity will not only fund critical research but also provide hope and support to those who need it most. Let's stand together, united in our mission to breathe hope into the lives of individuals with cystic fibrosis. #pridepassionpeople #TeacherActive #cysticfibrosis
