With this new tool, there’s so much you can do. Here are 6 ways to make the most out of it.
Now that you’ve made the commitment to fundraise for cancer research, it’s time to spread the word. The Empire State Ride app makes it easy to share your personalized page across many platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and SMS. You can share your page from three different locations on the app:
Keep track of your donations all under the Donors tab. You can see who’s donated to your efforts and how much they gave. You’ll be able to thank them right through the app, too.
Additionally, you can opt to be notified via email when you receive a donation. This is a great option to make sure you never miss a chance to say thank you to a donor.
Updating your page and photo just got easier. Instead of needing a desktop or laptop, now all you need is your phone and the app.
Make sure to update the story of why you’re participating in the Empire State Ride. This will help donors understand your drive and passion, which can ultimately lead to donations.
Facebook fundraising is an incredible tool to reach more donors than ever. Integrating your personalized page with the social media giant is one of the best things you can do. Now, you can do it through the app with one simple click. Simply scroll down on the home screen and click “Connect to Facebook.”
A clinical trial is a study designed to evaluate a promising new medical treatment before it can be made widely available to patients. Researchers develop new treatments for physicians to administer to patients who have enrolled in the trial and follow their progress. Physicians then report their observations back to researchers who focus their efforts accordingly.
When clinical trials identify effective treatments, these treatments will eventually become the new standard of care that will be offered to future patients. Today’s standard treatments were researched and proven by clinical trials done in the past.
A lung cancer vaccine clinical trial, CIMAvax, that is only available exclusively through Roswell Park thanks to a partnership with scientists in Cuba.
A study on how well single-fraction therapy works when compared to standard radiation therapy in treating patients with metastatic cancer or cancer that has spread to other places in the body.
A study into the use of immunotherapy drug abatacept (Orencia®) to target multiple myeloma cancer cells.
Launching clinical trials and bringing these new therapies to patients requires significant funding, making every dollar raised through ESR Long Island critical to the finding the next cancer cure.
Funds raised through ESR Long Island are managed by the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that manages all donations made to Roswell Park. The Foundation ensures that every donation is put to the best possible use.
It’s earned the highest possible rating on Charity Navigator for the fifth consecutive year.
