Fundraising zone

	Don't just talk about cancer, do something about it too! Why not get young people involved in fundraising? We've got loads of ideas, tools and tips to hold a great fundraising event for Macmillan.

You could get involved with one of our national events - like The Big Sports Day or the World's Biggest Coffee Morning. Or get creative and hold your own event at school. Pit the teachers against the students in a giant general knowledge quiz, get sponsored in a talent show, or go the distance and cover the school hall in pound coins. Whatever you decide, we've got loads of ideas and everything you need to get organised in our fundraising help section on the main Macmillan website. With the money you raise:

51p will pay for one copy of The Cancer Guide to be published
£16 will pay for a Macmillan benefits adviser for an hour
£22 could fund a Macmillan family support worker for an hour
£44 could help run a typical Macmillan information and support centre for an hour
£184 will fund a Macmillan nurse for a day

So what are you waiting for? Come up with an event, print out some posters, get sponsored, round everyone up to join in and help people living with cancer.
