Research Fundraising


Help Fund Research

The Neuroblastoma Foundation is committed to funding the cure for neuroblastoma.   It is for this reason we have created a unique system to ensure that research dollars get to where they need to be as quickly as possible.  We also do so as inexpensively as possible.  The Neuroblastoma Foundation has created restricted funds to ensure that every dollar you help raise for research makes it to the lab and the clinic.  There are no administrative or marketing fees.  We are committed to help you fund the cure.

The Research Fundraising Program is for individuals, groups, businesses, schools and clubs - anyone who is interested in raising funds for the Neuroblastoma Foundation by holding events or participating in established events, such as marathons or golf tournaments.

Events can include fun runs and walks, bicycle rides, silent auctions, or other organized activities. Aside from events, you can create a letter writing campaign or set-up a booth to raise funds and awareness at a local community event, such as a fair or picnic. The possibilities are endless!

Should you decide to participate in the program, the NBF will grant you access to a secure web site that contains a number of tools to assist you in your fundraising. These tools include a fundraising logo, media kit (which includes a sample press release and sample solicitation letters), informational pieces and more!

As a grassroots fundraiser, you will also have a personal fundraising page where donors can contribute to your efforts online. Printable donation forms, for mailed donations, will also be available in the online toolkit.

It is very important for the NBF to be aware of fundraising events that are being held for our benefit. The NBF will assist you any way we can, but we do not have the capacity to plan, schedule or organize your event. Thank you for understanding our limitations in this situation.

In order for the NBF to review your event, please submit your event by email to events@neuroblastomafoundation.org. We understand that all details for your proposed event may not be available at the time of your proposal submission, but please fill out the form to the best of your knowledge. We will review your proposal within 5 business days and contact you regarding next steps.

Thank you for your interest in fundraising for the Neuroblastoma Foundation and feel free to send questions to fundraising@neuroblastomafoundation.org.

The journey through the world of neuroblastoma is not easy.

The Neuroblastoma Foundation is here to make sure you get the correct answers and to ensure that promising research gets funded.
