Kylee asked:
I am 19 and my grandma has ovarian cancer. I want to do a car show in a parking lot or park or somewhere like that. I want to have a donation bucket to raise money and give it to an organization that supports ovarian cancer.
How should i go about starting this? Where do i start? And any helpful tips?

You should contact an organization that is already founded and active. Fundraisers and drives are always in the making and in action. You can generate more money and you can get all of the tools you need from the your community organizers or organization headquarters. There’s no reason for you to ‘pioneer’ your own fundraiser when there are already many out there. IF you absolutely are stubborn and you want to feel the rewards from just getting out and doing something or putting a donation jar at a store or event then you simply go to the place that you want to place it at and tell them your story. One of the first questions you will confront is: Who are you affilliated with? If you haven’t researched or contacted organizations then you can’t simply say you are affilliated with them. Well, you can but if they aren’t aware of this you can be arrested for fraud. AND, some places won’t accept non verifiable legitimacy (your word) as a precursor to accepting donations. Research or google ovarian cancer. If you want to help your grandmother with money for her medical bills then the best thing for you to do is to connect her with an existing donor base. There are millions of people who need help and help is out there; you just have to find it.

What a super granddaughter – to add to what the previous answer said about ensuring you are doing this legally, what about asking her center or her surgeon if they have a fund for something relevant to their community?
When I had cancer my surgeon was doing research into a new way to carry out biopsies – and I gave a donation for this. This way, if it is local you can get a letter from the center or surgeon – photocopy this and tell people this is what it is for.
You will often find that friends and locals will happily give to something that is local.
