FUNDRAISING
There are many interesting
ways in which you can help support Ganga Prem
Hospice. One of these is fundraising.
Fundraising can be an exciting
and meaningful experience for oneself and one's
friends, as well as being a help and support to
terminally ill cancer patients in North India.
Some ideas for fundraising are: sponsored walks,
sales and raffles, benefit concerts and shows,
charity dinners and parties, etc. See what you
can do!
