Improve the lives of low income and under-served cancer survivors
Whether you are a certified yoga4cancer teacher, cancer survivor, caregiver, healthcare provider or compassionate human, there are many ways to get involved with the yoga4cancer mission. Much progress has been made within the past two decades to bring yoga to the lives of cancer patients and survivors, but there is more work to be done. We welcome your motivation and compassion. Together we can make a greater impact.
Below are 4 concrete ways you can help!
Money makes the world go around.
#1 – Fundraise:
Good intentions and genuine compassion are the sparks that can light our efforts aflame. We must also put in the hard work and generate support in order for our efforts to grow. Adequate funding ensures longevity and sustainability for the yoga4cancer mission. And ensures we are able to support as many cancer survivors as possible.
- Launch a crowd fundraising campaign.
- Organize a in person fundraising event like a donation yoga class or cocktail party.
- Write a grant or solicit donations from foundations or large donors
- Make a tax-deductible donation yourself.
Any and all funds should be directed to the yoga4cancer Foundation (our non-profit partner). All donations are tax deductible and 100% used to fund programs.
Create Awareness
#2 – Spread the word of yoga4cancer!
Spread the word. Help give yoga4cancer visibility through social media. Post and share your yoga4cancer experience, whether in class or in training. Announce any fund raising events you are attending or hosting, and get people involved.
