Sponsors needed for 5th Annual ‘Clips for Cancer’
Sponsors are needed for the 5th Annual Clips for Cancer, a month-long event in September that raises money to ensure that programs and services are available for local children diagnosed with cancer at Golisano Children’s Hospital.
Clips for Cancer aims to raise $500,000 to benefit Barbara’s Friends – Golisano Children’s Hospi-tal’s cancer fund. Barbara’s Friends has a 27-year history of helping kids with cancer and life-threatening blood disorders, ensuring that no child is denied treatment due to an inability to pay.
Every donation to Barbara’s Friends supports lifesaving services, programs and equipment for the young patients at Golisano Children’s Hospital.
To raise awareness and local support in honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, South-west Florida community leaders will have their heads shaved by Golisano Children’s Hospital pediatric cancer survivors live on Facebook every Friday in September. These leaders will be rallying donations and braving the shave in a personal show of solidarity for children battling cancer and other blood disorders.
For families, Golisano Children’s Hospital provides the necessary support and resources to help them make it through such difficult circumstances, and generous donors help ensure no family has to face a cancer diagnosis alone. Clips for Cancer has raised more than $500,000 in the past four years.
Clips for Cancer sponsorship opportunities include: $50,000 Go for Gold sponsor, $25,000 Best Friend sponsor, $10,000 Champion sponsor and $5,000 Anniversary sponsor.
