If you're asking yourself "how can I help the cause?," here a couple things you can do:

  1. Buy a ticket and come funk out with us.
  2. If you can't make it, or are just feeling generous, you can simply donate.
  3. Volunteer to contact businesses, artists, etc. and ask them to donate items to the silent auction. See "volunteer" section below
  4. Ask your company if they'd like to sponsor the event. Businesses will often sponsor events that are near and dear to their employee's hearts.

Volunteer
We're always looking to have items, services or experiences donated to the silent auction portion of the evening...and we're always looking for people to volunteer to call on businesses to donate these items. Here is a link to view the "Letter of Support" from the UW Carbone Cancer Center to Funk Out Cancer. Share this with any business that you call upon to let them know that you are officially seeking donated items for an event that is sanctioned by the UWCCC:

Here is a short sample script to help you if you're interested in calling/emailing for donated items:
Hi, I'm with Funk Out Cancer, which is a concert and silent auction in memory of Kate Gates Falaschi. Our event is on November 2nd of this year and all proceeds do to fund cancer research at the UW Carbone Cancer Center. We have raised over $200k in our previous 5 events, and look forward to exceeding our goal this year. Here's a short video that shows some of the amazing treatments that have been developed purely based off of previous Funk Out Cancer donations: https://youtu.be/c2QXmmInNUc. Please let me know if you'd be interested in donating your products or services to the silent auction. If you would, Please fill out the form here so the Cancer Center can send you a thank you letter that can also be used on your tax returns. 


Of course, if you just want to help out with a donation, you can do that here:
