3rd Annual Ending Cancer in Our Generation Benefit

September 2012

New This year:

Our board of directors has reviewed our previous history with our annual benefits and the resulting conclusion was that this year we would focus our efforts on an online only event. Also, since October is synonymous with other cancer charities (i.e. breast cancer) it is very difficult to reach out as much as we would like, so we have decided to move the benefit up to September. We hope that with these two changes we will be able to reach more, and make more of a difference with this year's event.

Currently we are hosting our event through Ebay and it will be for the month of September. We will be listing all of our items throughout the month and these actions will allow people all of the world to have access to our event.
Ebay offers a fantastic service for non profits that waives all of the fees, so 100% of the money will go to our organization.

We are currently in the planning and gathering phase of the benefit. Our Ebay account is ecogfoundation, so please keep an eye there for new auctions all of September.

Desperately Needed Donations of all shapes, sizes and kinds!

So, if you have a cool hobby or something you like to make or create, then think about donating it to this benefit. You can include your information so the person who wins can order more and spread the word around of your excellent work. We will be posting every donor online and everyone who views the auction will see your info. We can use all forms of art, hobbies and anything that is creative in any way. We are also accepting regular donations of items such as candles, lotions, etc that will make quality baskets. Basically, if you donate it, we will find a way to make it into a fantastic basket that is our promise to you!

We are also look for sponsors who would like to donate to our annual benefit. We are a community open to all and would love a company sponsor who mirrors our mission to help promote the arts. We are dedicated to making a difference in the world so if you would like to back as at a corporate level, we are a registered public charity and all donations are 100% tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Sponsor levels are

Bronze Sponsor- $100 and less
Silver Sponsor- $200
Gold- $300+
Corporate- $500+

Why not try approaching your local favorites and see if they might like to hold an Ending Cancer in Our Generation Benefit night with a portion of the proceeds going to the Benefit?

Interested? I made this document to help advertise (make changes as necessary) Benefit Night Flyer and here is a letter I wrote to help explain some of the finer points, it is written from my perspective but you should be able to show it to business in your area as well; Cancer Letter
