Hey Multiple Myeloma Marchers! Looking to maximize your fundraising efforts? Why not work with your employer to increase your impact?  

Here are four ways to get your company involved: 

1. Check if your employer has a donation matching program 

This is the simplest way to double your impact. Many companies match charitable donations as an employee benefit. Use the Double the Donation tool to check if your employer offers this benefit. If they do, submit your receipts. It’s easy money for the cause!  

2. Ask your employer to sponsor your local Multiple Myeloma March 

Sponsorships can take many forms: monetary donations in exchange for logo placement on your local March website, donation-in-kind prizes for raffles, or products and services that make the March run smoothly (like coffee for participants). Think about how your company’s resources could benefit the March. Contact Laurence Barchichat (National Fundraising Manager, Myeloma Canada) at [email protected] with sponsorship ideas. 

3. Form a company team 

Turn the March into a team-building activity! Challenge colleagues to fundraise for Myeloma Canada while building camaraderie. Set team goals, organize workplace events to drum up excitement, and celebrate milestones together. Sign your team up today!

4. Leverage your company’s communication channels 

Ask to use internal platforms to spread awareness about your Multiple Myeloma March participation: company newsletters, bulletin boards, or company-wide emails explaining why you’re participating and how colleagues can support your fundraising.
