Peer-to-Peer Fund the Future challenge begins Oct. 1

 

​Raise $250 by Oct. 30 to earn a long-sleeve, hooded t-shirt

Beginning Thursday, Oct. 1 and running through Friday, Oct. 30 at noon CST, Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, select DetermiNation and other events will rally together to fund the fight against cancer through a first-ever, collaborative Fund the Future fall incentive challenge. 

The goal of the peer-to-peer fall fundraising challenge is to generate $10 million in additional revenue across peer-to-peer properties to fund research and patient programming. 

Here’s how this challenge works: 

• All challenge participants who raise $250 or more online between Oct. 1 - Oct. 30, 2020 at Noon CST are eligible to receive a gray, long-sleeve, hooded t-shirt, with their choice of Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, DetermiNation or ACS logo.
• Only online and mobile app donations (including checks deposited via the app) qualify.
• On a weekly basis, qualified participants will receive an email containing a redemption code to claim their shirt and will be able to identify a shipping address.
