On Site Fundraisers

This type of fundraiser is advantageous on the day of Relay for Life.

Some ideas that you can incorporate into your Relay for Life Event include: 

  • Raffle an autograph football/basketball of the top sports teams at your school or in the area

  • Silent Auction with themed baskets and prizes

  • Jail and Bail: pay to arrest someone and they pay or wait the amount of time to get out of jail

  • Sell individual flowers to be placed near the Luminaria

  • Selling army tags in honor or in memory of those living with cancer

  • Selling food or drinks

  • Caricatures

  • Ask Relayers to donate 5 dollars to have a dedication and special song played for the person they are walking for

  • Onsite hair salon: The hair stylists donate all of their time and set up a salon at the team
    campsite right near the track. Charge a minimum donation of $10. Braiding hair can also
    be offered.

  • Jewelry Sale: Make homemade necklaces and bracelets to sell to family and friends.
    Think outside the box: Use this opportunity to increase cancer awareness and support by
    using charms or colors. Example: add a pink ribbon charm for breast cancer or purple for
    Relay For Life.

  • Sporting Tournaments: If facilities allow the space, set up and run a tournament of
    some kind with a small entrance fee to participate. Games like wiffleball, basketball,
    and tennis work well in this situation.
