About the Campaign




Will Ferrell's Double Dare Match Madness 

Donation Matching Challenge 

Campaign Runs: Now - December 31, 2020 

Activity Weekend: December 5 & 6


This year has been a struggle for us all. Now imagine you are a cancer survivor trying to figure out how you will pay for health care, food, rent and college. Over the course of 2020, nonprofits nationwide have experienced massive financial hits due to COVID-19’s impact on fundraising. The struggle is real.


Our friend Will Ferrell is leading by example and will be personally matching all donations through the end of the year up to $200K! In fact, he's challenging you to get out of your comfort zone. He is daring you to take on this challenge in the most extreme way imaginable. 

Learn how you can create your own challenge or join Will's team as we help cancer survivors thrive through college and beyond.


HERE'S HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Will dares you to go outside of your comfort zone.  Pick an activity to challenge yourself physically, mentally (or both if you're brave). Raise money and have fun! 


Here are some options:
Also, here is a cheat sheet of ideas.

  • Go hike the tallest mountain near you.

  • Commit to play 100 holes of golf between now and the end of the year.  If you are really daring, try and do it in a single day.

  • Commit to walking, jogging or running every day for a week.

  • Go surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding.

  • Go for a long bike ride.

  • Take a polar bear plunge.

  • Really just do anything and make a difference. Rally your friends and colleagues to support you on your quest!


Now Select an Option to Get Stared:


Option A: 

Pick your activity of choice to challenge yourself  then create your own fundraiser page. Select “Become a Fundraiser” above.  

Here you can fundraise as an individual, join a team or create a team. Set your fundraising goal (i.e. $100, $1,000, $5,000) and enter any personal details you'd like about why you're fundraising for CFC. Get your friends and colleagues to support your goal.  Ex: Pledge $100 toward my goal of walking 100 miles between now and the end of the year.


Option B: 

Join forces with Will Ferrell himself and be a valuable part of his own personal team to help him fundraise! The more his team raises, the more daring his own personal activities may get, all to raise awareness for CFC. 


Option C:

Simply donate to CFC by clicking the “Donate” button and select your amount. This is the perfect option if you prefer to donate directly vs. fundraise. 


Whatever option you choose, don't forget to encourage your family, friends and coworkers to partiicpate. Share the CFC campaign or your personal fundraiser via social media or email easily by clicking on the Share icon.

We thank you for your support in helping us reach our end of year campaign goal! Special signed prizes from Will Ferrell will be awarded throughout the campaign. For the first 10 people to fundraise or donate $5,000 they will win a VIP lunch with Will Ferrell post-COVID (est. fall 2021)! Space is limited. 

Every dollar you fundraise or donate from now through through December 31, 2020 will be personally matched by Will so every dollar counts. Now, let's go get our dare on!
