Make an Impact

With a Third Party Fundraiser in your Community

Many people and organizations want to make a difference by raising money to benefit the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. One such way is to organize a third party fundraiser. You can participate in an activity that you enjoy while supporting a good cause — the fight against breast cancer. You can play in an athletic tournament or shop for the cure — the choices are nearly endless, but the results are the same — supporting Komen Greater NYC.

If are interested in hosting a third party fundraiser and need some ideas, here are just a handful of examples of ways you can make an impact with an event:

• Sporting events
• Fashion shows
• Sales events at small boutiques
• Auctions and raffles
• Exercise classes

Be creative! You can come up with many more ideas for simple ways to fundraise.

For more information, please read our Fundraising Guidelines and our General Fundraising FAQ, both of which are very helpful as a planning tool for your fundraiser. Then please download and complete our Fundraising Application. The application can be faxed to 212-560-9598 or emailed to development@komennyc.org. Please allow up to two weeks for a formal reply to your application and proposed fundraising program.

We require a "Third Party Agreement" be completed, which outlines the details of the event. A guaranteed minimum donation amount is required for use of the Komen Greater NYC name and/or logo. We may also be able to include your event in one of our communication channels, such as our events calendar.

Please also visit our Ignite Personal Fundraising program, a program which allows you to create a uniquely personal fundraiser and maximize your fundraising efforts through online donations.

Komen Greater NYC is grateful for the opportunities to work with community organizations and individuals who wish to hold a fundraiser to help us fulfill our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
