How do you Go Gold®? It’s easy – any way you want! Putting on a Go Gold event to raise money for kids with cancer is different and unique for everyone but with one common theme: GOLD.
Why We Go Gold
In 1997, a group of parents of children impacted by cancer chose gold to represent childhood cancer. Thus, the gold ribbon! Ever since then, supporters around the world Go Gold to represent childhood cancer warriors and heroes.
How You Can Go Gold
Organizing a fun-filled “Go Gold For Kids With Cancer®” event in your community, school or workplace is a great way to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. Best part is, you can Go Gold however you want! Here are a few ideas to get you started…
