Help Fundraise

In September Cure Our Ovarian Cancer holds a Step Up Challenge to raise funds for research. Big or small, it’s an opportunity for people around the world to have fun, get active and encourage others to join in for a good cause.

Nicole organised a 5km walk in Houston, Texas and enlisted friends and family to help organise – dozens of people participated (pictured), over 100 people donated and together her community raised over $20 000 for research. Watch TV coverage of her event.

Every November STAAR Ovarian Cancer organise their Teal Turkey Trot for Thanksgiving.

5K Run/Walk/Skip/Cycle! Whatever means you want to use to move your body, we accept it! Indoors on your Peloton? Cool. Outdoors around your neighborhood? Great too. Pushing a stroller? Yep. You walking and your child scooting along? Of course! You want to register your dog? Truly… the more, the merrier! Can’t make it 5K? No problem! Just get out and have some fun!!

Visit their 2020 page to learn more and keep an eye on their website for updates.

Try a Personal Challenge

Set yourself a personal challenge such as a walk or a run, or give up something for some time (like TV/Netflix), and ask your community to sponsor you. Alternatively you could set a fundraising goal and commit to matching a % if your goal is reached. Or set a fundraising target and commit to a challenge if it’s met – for example shaving/growing a beard, shaving your head, buying lunch for your work colleagues – it’s completely up to you!

Donate A Celebration or in Memory

Instead of receiving flowers, gifts or presents for an event you can ask your friends and family to donate to research to find better treatments for people with low-grade serous carcinoma so they can have more time with their loved ones.

Kari asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday and raised $720.

Organise an Event or Trip

Organize an event and ask your guests to make a donation to participate. It could be a dinner, wine tasting, concert, trip to a museum, scavenger hunt – your imagination is the limit!

Sell Goods or Services

Wash cars, sell cookies, hold an auction, make Christmas decorations, do odd jobs in your community or donate a day’s wages to fund a cancer researcher for a day and ask others to join you.
