A Facebook fundraiser is a great way to connect your friends, families, colleagues, etc. to Hope & Heroes and Columbia’s life-saving work for children with cancer and blood disorders. Your supporters can make a donation of any amount right on your Facebook page and they can share the fundraiser with their network too.

Plus, the convenience of Facebook creates a seamless experience for you and those supporting your fundraiser. As Facebook charges no fees to nonprofits, you can feel confident in knowing that all donations go directly to Hope & Heroes, enabling us to provide exceptional care for our patients.
