The Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Inc. (LBCA) knows that people like to support the organization in a way that’s right for them. We’re happy to announce two new opportunities for giving: Facebook fundraising and the AmazonSmile program.

Facebook Fundraising

Facebook fundraising allows a user to support LBCA by asking family members, friends, and colleagues on Facebook to donate money. Users set the amount they want to raise and the date of their campaign. Many people raise money for special days in their lives like birthdays and graduations.

 Steps for Setting up a Facebook Fundraiser

1. Search “Fundraisers” from your Facebook homepage.
2. On the Fundraisers page click that you want to raise money for a Nonprofit.
3. When Facebook asks you to select a Nonprofit search Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance LBCA
4. A new page opens giving information on LBCA. You’ll be asked to set your fundraising goal and can edit other information.
5. You also will determine how long you want your fundraising campaign to last.
6. Now you’re ready to CREATE your fundraiser! Facebook will alert you when you receive a donation.

AmazonSmile

Amazon has enabled its customers to donate 0.5% of the price of each purchase to the customer’s charity of choice through its AmazonSmile program. It can add up if you use Amazon a lot and tell your friends to use it too! AmazonSmile is a separate portal from Amazon’s main site, but it offers the same items, prices, and benefits.

Steps to Switch to AmazonSmile

1. Go to https://smile.amazon.com/ 
2. Once signed into AmazonSmile, you will be prompted to pick a charity. If you are already supporting another charity, you will need to switch to LBCA. Just click on the charity you are supporting (upper left on the AmazonSmile menu bar) and then you will see where you can change your charity. Our official name is Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Inc.
3. Next time you make a purchase on Amazon, do it from the AmazonSmile page.

Thanks for considering these new ways to support LBCA’s efforts!
