Indianapolis
Gives

Calling all Social Media users!

We need you for this micro volunteering event. What is a micro volunteer opportunity? It is a short-term, low-commitment opportunity to make a HUGE impact! Are you a good micro volunteer candidate? You are, if you prefer to volunteer for short and convenient assignments that can be carried out anywhere with an Internet connection.

Indianapolis Gives is an online fundraising competition organized by Indianapolis Monthly Magazine that will run Dec 2 (begins at 5pm, ET) through Dec 12. The Heroes Foundation is looking for 12 individual team captains (1 for each day of the campaign). Captains will be charged with sharing the social media posts provided by the Heroes Foundation and encouraging those they know who have been touched by a cancer diagnosis to make a contribution for support to patients, cancer prevention, research or greatest need. All who use social media can take part and may do so from anywhere. We are looking for 12 Team Captains (one for each day) to manage, share and encourage others to do so for 1 assigned day. 

All proceeds stay in Indiana and go to support the Heroes Foundation mission to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research for a cure. All ages, genders, and ethnicities are supported. The Heroes Foundation is cancer agnostic, we simply exist to raise funds to fight ALL types of cancer!

Interested? Please contact Annie Martinez at amartinez@heroesfoudation.org.

Fit4Heroes

Fit4Heroes is designed to remind everyone of the connection between exercise and cancer prevention. Participants commit to an activity (or multiple!) for 23 days. Each participant has a fundraising page, health goal and can even create a team. The 2024 online fundraising campaign went from June 1-23. Thank you to all participants who helped us raise $54,007 for innovative programs like this one!

The Fit4Heroes campaign ended with the celebratory, family-friendly FitFest at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center (Colts Complex) on Sunday, June 23. Families enjoyed a cornhole tournament hosted by Indy Custom Cornhole, indoor cycling with Nine13sports, interval training with Edge Fitness & Strength, a meet & greet with Indianapolis Colts mascot Blue, top health exhibitors from our community, and more.
