Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels 2014 Summer Fundraising Challenge

In the past, Stand Up 2 Cancer would a 2-week long summer fundraising challenge right before their televised broadcast. This year, although SU2C will be doing their broadcast on September 5, 2014, they are not hosting a fundraising challenge like years past.

So, I thought, just because SU2C isn't doing a challenge, that doesn't mean Crush Kids' Cancer can't!

Starting today, August 22, until Stand Up 2 Cancer's broadcast on September 5, Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels will be doing our own fundraising challenge! Our goal is to raise as much money as we can for Crush Kids' Cancer within these two weeks!

To donate, click the big, orange DONATE button on the right, then click the red DONATE NOW button on our team page!

We want to see those numbers going up over the next 2 weeks, so please donate! No amount is too small and all of the proceeds go to Stand Up 2 Cancer to help find a cure! If you are unable to donate, we always appreciate spreading the word! Share with your friends and families, on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc!

Twitter Trending Party + Thunderclap

On Thursday, September 4, 2014, we want to trend on Twitter just like we did 2 years ago!

Trend: SU2C Crush Kids Cancer

Time: 9pm EST

Be sure to participate in our Thunderclap as well! We need at least 100 participants by September 2nd in order for our Thunderclap to happen! If you participate with Twitter, the tweets will be sent out on September 4th at 9pm EST during our trending party!

Crush Kids' Cancer's summer fundraising challenge starts... NOW!

The winner of our Kids' Chapter fundraising challenge is....

Roselyn Garcia!

There were some great fundraising activities going on this summer, but Roselyn wins with her sketch of David Archuleta, that was auctioned off for a donation to Crush Kids' Cancer.

Congrats Roselyn, you win the free copy of David's new album BEGIN.

Thank you everyone who participated and be sure to stay tuned for more great projects from The Kids' Chapter!

Message from Crush Kids' Cancer team captain PecanPie!

Greetings Fellow Archies and Cancer Warriors! It’s that time again when SU2C has asked us to STAND UP and fight by raising as much funds as we can by AUGUST 29 (less than 2 weeks!). The top fundraising team will receive on-screen recognition (possibly a tribute) on the live broadcast the following week.

With our esteemed honoree abroad for the next 2 years, this will be our toughest challenge yet. Unfortunately, there are quite a few of our team members who are either battling this disease themselves or fighting the battle alongside a loved one right now because cancer doesn’t wait until it’s convenient to wage its war.

So, with or without David to guide us, it’s time to don the boxing gloves. That’s ok, though, because we Don’t Give Up and we will not be Broken! So let’s show cancer and show the world our True Colors and let the fundraising BEGIN.

Please follow the fansites and the kidschapter http://www.thekidschapter.org/ during the week for some uber-cool raffle items you could win by donating!

Stand Up 2 Cancer fundraising challenge BEGINs today!

Hi everyone! I'd like to let you all know that Crush Kids' Cancer and The Kids' Chapter will be participating in Stand Up 2 Cancer's latest fundraising challenge! 

As some of you may know, Stand Up 2 Cancer will be having one of their nationwide broadcasts again this year on September 7, and the team that raises the most will be acknowledged during the broadcast!

The challenge starts today, August 16, and ends on August 29. 

Be sure to get your donations in to Crush Kids' Cancer and BEGIN. fundraising! 
(only donations received today until August 29 count for the challenge; any received before or after do not count.) 

Check out David, along with team member Mary Lou Sinclair, during SU2C's broadcast in 2010:

This could happen again (minus David, of course), but only with YOUR help!

While David is away on his mission doing good, you too can do some good by getting involved and helping us CRUSH cancer. 

Also, if anyone has any David memorabilia they'd like to give to be raffled off for donations, please email us and let us know! Signed CDs, tour merchandise, etc would be appreciated! 
We'll be having some raffles going on during the next 2 weeks, so stay tuned!
