These ideas were copied from Arden Bucher’s site. Arden lost her fight with Cancer this summer, not because of the cancer but because of the treatment. So please take action in her memory and for those who yet must face the treatments ahead, lets work to “Kill the Cancer not the Kid”
On September 29th – Eat at CHILI’S: proceeds go to St. Jude’s Hospital for Children.
COMPLETE THE CURE
The University of Minnesota also has a fundraiser for childhood cancer research. Complete the Cure sponsors make small donations for each video viewed. During each video, the watcher answers a quick question (it doesn’t matter if it is answered correctly). http://www.completethecure.com/index.aspx
Gold Ribbon on Products Petition
This petition was started by Linda Lieser, NB angel Isaac’s mom. She is determined, through Isaac’s foundation (http://www.isaacsfoundation.org/), to get corporations to put gold ribbons on products to raise awareness about pediatric cancers and to raise funds for research. Linda designed the gold ribbon/”hope” Childhood Cancer Awareness CaringBridge template.

Gold Campaign for Target
Cyndi Poeggel has initiated a letter-writing campaign to Target requesting a gold product campaign for September 2009 for the benefit of pediatric cancer research (similar to the “pink” one that has been featured in recent ads which benefits breast cancer research). Greg Steinhafel has been CEO at Target since April, so this may be a perfect time for this idea to be heard.
