When you host your own fund-raiser for Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, you are helping people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley AND giving friends and family the chance to have fun! Look at some of the fundraising events that have been organized to benefit Miles of Hope!

Here is how to get started


Before you begin: Read the Guidelines for Hosting a Fund-raising Event. Then if you decide you would like to host a simple and straightforward fund-raiser, come back here for information and fundraising ideas. For people who wish to host a more involved and/or larger scale fundraising event, the Guidelines include information on how to proceed.

Step 1: Figure out which type of fund-raiser you want to host. It might be a special day at a salon, an auction (silent or live), a bake sale, a birthday party, a sporting event — use your imagination to come up with ways to raise money and get everyone involved. Look at these current and past fund-raisers for ideas!
