Our Mission $10 Per Month For 10 Million Lives Per Year
Our mission is clear: to create a SIGNIFICANT and SUSTAINED source of funding to advance the world's most innovative cancer research and treatment ideas. Despite being the second‐leading cause of all death worldwide, cancer research receives shockingly little government funding. Furthermore, the most innovative and exploratory research is typically the least likely to receive Federal funding. For this reason, private donations, especially those that are sustained over a longer time period, have the potential to be the most impactful.
Our Approach Small Donations, Big Impact
The Ten for Ten Million approach is simple, by design. We seek small, recurring donations from a very large network. Then we reward people for their sustained commitment. We also do occasional events and fundraisers to bring awareness and grow the network.
The Ten For Ten Approach:
- Small donations in the nice, round amount of $10 per month. That's less than the cost of two of your favorite lattes per month to advance cancer research.
- Utilize the power of social networking to reach an astronomically large audience and tell the story of how small donations make a big impact.
- Incentivize sustained contribution with fun giveaways, raffles, and other promotions that reward sustained commitment to the cause.
