Give them a call and find out whom to direct your inquiry to. They won’t help if you don’t ask!

Event Guidelines
NSFC appreciates the commitment and investment of time and financial resources required to organize a fundraising event. To ensure that both No Stomach For Cancer and event organizers clearly understand the expectations and responsibilities involved with organizing an event, we have developed a simple Fundraising Activity Guidelines and Application that you can request by emailing admin@nostomacgforcancer.org.
These guidelines are not meant to hinder your fundraising efforts, but rather to assure compliance with all acceptable terms of cooperation. NSFC will review your application and a representative of NSFC will contact you to discuss your proposed event. Once your fundraising event is approved, the planning can begin!
Contact us if we can be of help in any way as you consider hosting an event. Thank you for your interest and your commitment to making a difference.
