The Life's Second Chance Foundation

In Ethiopia...

"Public awareness of cancer is very low and the diagnosis of cancer is considered a death sentence. The waiting time, particularly for radio therapy is one year. As a result, some patients die while waiting for treatment."

Learn how you can become a Grassroots Fundraiser:
The Grassroots Fundraising Program is for individuals, groups, businesses, schools and clubs - anyone who is interested in raising funds for the LSCF by holding events or participating in established events.

Events can include fun runs and walks, bicycle rides, silent auctions, or other organized activities. Aside from events, you can set-up a booth to raise funds and awareness at a local community event, such as a fair or picnic. The possibilities are endless!

Should you decide to participate in the program, the LSCF will provide you with tools that include a fundraising logo, media kit (which includes a sample press release and sample solicitation letters), informational pieces and more!

As a grassroots fundraiser, you will also have a personal fundraising page at www.lifessecondchance.org where donors can contribute to your efforts online. Printable donation forms, for mailed donations, will also be available in the online toolkit.

It is very important for the LSCF to be aware of fundraising events that are being held for our benefit. The LSCF will assist you any way we can, but we do not have the capacity to plan, schedule or organize your event. Thank you for understanding our limitations in this situation.
