Fundraising tips and tools

We Marilyns are united by shared cancer experience and together, we are determined to do something positive: raise funds that will change the lives of people impacted by cancer.

Fundraising can be daunting, but your efforts really do make a big difference, Darling!

To date, our Marilyns have raised over $1.79 million that has helped fund Cancer Council SA's vital prevention, research and support programs for thousands of South Australian families every year.

Every dollar you raise goes a long way in ensuring no one has to go through cancer alone. 

When you register as a Marilyn, you'll have access to tried and tested fundraising tips and tools, plus a dedicated team ready to support you and help you reach your goals.

To get you started, here are some of our top tips to being a blonde bombshell at fundraising:

Own your story

Update your fundraising page with your photo and why you're a Marilyn. Make it personal!

Make the first splash

Donate to yourself first, then ask your network to follow your fabulous lead.

Spread the word

Share your page on Facebook and by email. Use our templates or craft your own message.

Get creative

Host a craft night, give up something for a month, or challenge a friend. The possibilities are endless!

Show gratitude

Thank your supporters personally – every dollar, big or small, makes a difference.

Keep the momentum

Share your progress on social media and celebrate your wins along the way!
