Donations to medical and
health nonprofits, like Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or
Doctors Without Borders USA, help bring relief to those in need, as
well as fund research for a cure for difficult diseases. As such,
every little bit donated to these causes truly makes a huge
difference.
You can do your part to
support these efforts by organizing fundraisers that promote good
health. Some ideas you can try include:
Healthy Breakfast Fair
Eating healthy is the
best way to prevent cardiovascular conditions or diet-related
problems, like insulin resistance. With that in mind, what better way
to help people make the transition to a healthy diet than by starting
with the most important meal of the day?
Host a “Healthy
Breakfast Fair” at a local park. You can then have families pay a
small entrance fee. They can then choose from a variety of healthy
breakfast options, such as wholegrain pancakes and jam made from
locally sourced fruits.
Cold Turkey
Heavy smoking and/or
drinking substantially increases the risk of contracting a variety of
diseases, including cancer and organ damage. Fortunately, people can
quit these vices as long as they have enough support, encouragement,
and willpower.
Promote healthy choices
by asking people to go cold turkey and quit their vices, where people
sponsor them for each day they go without their vice. You can also
enforce a “penalty” on participants who do not clear past a
certain amount of time.
