Community Fundraising

Your cause, your community, tomorrow’s cures.

Join with your family members, friends or colleagues to make a difference! Whether you have a personal connection to a particular disease or program, want to honor or pay tribute to a loved one, or just have fun with your family and friends, each community fundraising event makes an impact in raising awareness and supporting WashU Medicine’s mission areas: educating tomorrow’s leaders, providing patients the highest level of care and pursuing research that will lead to better methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

• Endurance event (run/walk/bike/swim)

• Golf tournament
• Retail give back event (percentage of product sales)
• School or work event (penny drive/jeans day/class competition)
