- Tribute gifts: Offer gifts in honor or memory of someone, so a loved one's name helps a child get care.
- 100% to the mission: Tell donors 100% of their gift goes to the mission, so it all reaches children facing cancer.

A researcher, an idea, and 20 weeks of lab supplies
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, a postdoctoral researcher came to us with an idea for catching cancer earlier and no money to test it. Our seed grant paid for the supplies to run the first samples and apply for a larger grant.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 20 weeks of lab supplies for one early-career researcher's pilot study, at $50 a week.
Would you give early, before the day itself? Early gifts get the total moving and show others it's worth joining. Even one week of supplies counts.
