Frequently Asked Questions
What types of talents can be shared in this program?
All talents and passions can be shared to change lives. The purpose of sharing your talents through our program is to show that you care about our cause, and you want to help kids with cancer. Whether your talent is playing the piano or building model cars out of toothpicks, what matters is that you’re sharing a part of yourself to help a great cause, and that inspires people to action!
If I participate in a fundraiser, how much of my time will it take?
There are two ways to fundraise with us: (1) to host a fundraiser for an existing program, or (2) to start your own charity program based on a unique talent/interest you have, and that other children can then start to do. Neither option requires a lot of your time, and will certainly not take your time away from school and other important things in your life! The whole purpose of YLC is that you simply do what you love and are already doing, and we pretty much do the rest!
Just to put this into perspective. You would spend a lot more time holding a lemonade stand to raise money for charity than you will sharing your talent with YLC!
If I participate, where do the funds go that I raise?
We raise money for three main causes, and we want you to be able to choose where the money you raise goes:
- To fund children’s cancer research
- To provide age-appropriate activities to kids going through cancer treatments
- To grant wishes for local kids battling cancer
