If you chose “B,” you’re correct!
On Sept. 17, Small Army for a Cause held a nationwide cancer fundraiser event encouraging participants to wear a bald cap for the day and collect sponsor donations. All funds raised were given to several cancer-related charities.
The non-profit group was founded by members of Small Army, a marketing and ad agency in Boston. The Small Army team wanted to honor the memory of Mike Connell, co-founder of the agency who lost his battle with cancer in 2007.
What unique fundraising ideas do you have to raise money and awareness for a worthy cause?
I really admire such organization raising fund to help those who suffer from severe illness, and can’t provide their own medication. May God bless all of you. Keep up the good work. I know that you doesn’t endure any hardship doing this thing because God made you guys as HIS instrument of helping others.
What an amazing thing they are doing! I completely agree. I love reading about nonprofits and their stories…it’s always a good reminder for us to support them in any way we can.
