FUNDRAISING TOOLKIT
Fighting cancer is a cause that brings people together, and one that so many are proud to support. One hundred percent of the funds you raise directly support Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission—from understanding cancer at its earliest stages, to advancing innovative treatments, easing the suffering of patients, and educating communities about cancer risk, prevention, and care.
We are committed to supporting you every step of the way so you can make the greatest impact possible. Explore the tips, tools, and videos below to help you succeed in your fundraising journey.

GETTING STARTED
Kick off your fundraising journey with these essential steps and strategies:
- Set Up Your Personal and Team Fundraising Pages
When you register for SportsFest, your personal page is automatically created. Add your story and photos to inspire donors. If you have a team, use your team page to rally support and amplify impact. - Make a List and Send an Email or Text Message
Personal asks are powerful! Start with your own donation, then invite others to match it. Share your page link via email, text, or social media. - Make It Personal
Share who you’re honoring and why this cause matters to you—real stories inspire action. - Ask Someone Every Day
Small, consistent asks add up quickly. Five $20 donations = $100 in less than a week! - Share on Social Media
Use your platforms and event hashtags to reach beyond your circle. - Talk It Up
Mention your fundraising at meetings and gatherings—every conversation counts. - Thank Your Donors
Show appreciation with a call, note, or shout-out. Gratitude builds lasting support.
