METHODS OF DONATING

  • The most convenient way to help FIGHT CANCER WITH FORD (FCWF) in it’s mission to FIND A CURE for Prostate Cancer is to donate online by clicking on the link found in the right sidebar, or directly through your browser by cutting & pasting “www.giving.umn.edu/giveto/ford” into the address bar.
  • Personal checks can be written if preferred, and may be the method of choice for some employer matching programs or to avoid credit card fees that may be incurred.  Checks should be written out to “University of MN Foundation – IPUC” (Institute for Prostate and Urologic Cancers) with “Fight Cancer with Ford” written into the memo line.  Checks can be mailed to Cathy Spicola, Director, University of Minnesota Foundation – IPUC, 200 Oak Street SE – Suite 500, Minneapolis, MN55455 (email address provided for questions).
  • Active Participation of your time by joining me in the events listed on this site.  Put on your bike gear and let’s ride!  Then join me in growing/wearing a moustache this November!  Meanwhile, spread the word through your own network of friends and family members (link to FCWF on your Facebook or other social media).  Raise awareness and funds to help FIND A CURE for Prostate Cancer through FCWF.
  • MATCHING DONATIONS - many companies have matching programs that can double your personal cash donation or contribute a set amount of dollars for hours worked for that charitable cause (you might have to bike with me though ;).  The University of Minnesota Foundation is recognized by many employers who set aside funds for charitable purposes and are willing to match dollars donated.  Find out if your employer is already connected to the U of MN Foundation by clicking on this link.  Most employers require forms to be filled out which should be available in your Human Resources Department.  Should your employer not be listed, check with your Human Resources Department because they may have matching funds without an established connection.  Remember, the answer is always “no” if you don’t ask.
