What if every game, practice, or goal could help save a child’s life?
With St. Baldrick’s athletic fundraising, you can turn the sport you already love into a powerful way to fund lifesaving childhood cancer research—and get active in the fight to conquer kids’ cancer.
Whether you play on a team, coach, or support from the sidelines, you can make an impact.
Here’s how to get started.
1. Dedicate Your Season to a Cause

Turn your entire season into a fundraiser.
Set a team goal and invite players, families, and supporters to contribute throughout the season.
Ideas to try:
- Set a team fundraising goal (e.g., $1,000 for the season)
- Ask for donations tied to wins, games played, or milestones
- Share updates with your community as you make progress
2. Tie Donations to Performance
Make every play count.
Link your fundraising to something that happens in your sport—goals, points, saves, or wins.
Examples:
- $10 for every goal scored
- $5 for every point or assist
- A donation for every win
It’s a simple, fun way to engage your whole network while doing what you love.
3. Rally Your Team and Community
Sports bring people together—use that energy for good.
Invite teammates, parents, coaches, and fans to get involved and support your fundraiser.
Ideas to try:
- Share your fundraiser at games or practices
- Post updates on social media
- Encourage friendly competition between teammates
4. Host a Game or Practice with Purpose
Choose a specific game or practice to spotlight your cause.
Turn it into a moment where your team comes together to raise awareness and funds.
Ideas to try:
- Dedicate a game to kids with cancer
- Wear gold or special gear to show support
- Share why you’re fundraising with your community
5. Play for Something Bigger
When you turn your sport into a fundraiser, you’re doing more than competing—you’re helping kids with cancer:
- Survive their diagnosis
- Grow up and thrive
- Get back in the game
Because every child deserves the chance to play.
