What is Hunting Down Cancer?
Hunting Down Cancer (HDC) is a fund raising organization that organizes
a benefit each year to help raise money for the fight against cancer.
Each year starting on the last Sunday in August we auction off hunting
and fishing trips across the county that go to raise money for a Cancer
program. With the HDC Benefits all of the money that you
pledged in winning the auction will go directly to the charity we are
raising money for. We are able to do this because of money raised by
personal donations and or other auctions items tagged specifically to
raise money to cover the operating costs of listings on eBay, advertising and website hosting.
We are not a non-profit organization, we help raise money for them. We
work with the nonprofit charity and run the auction process for them.
They receive all of the money generated from the auctions and we cover
all of the eBay fees and expenses. At this point in our organization
history, it is not worth the cost involved to become a nonprofit
organization when we can use that money to help the charity.
Over our first two years of benefits we raised a little over $26,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation . This year's HDC Benefit started on August 30th and we raised $11,040 for the cancer program Reel Recovery. It is a cancer outreach program centered around the activity of fly fishing to help people affected by cancer deal with their fight.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at Hunting Down Cancer.
If you'd like to contact the the organizations that we have raised money for please contact Chris Brewer at the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Stan Golub at Reel Recovery. They have both been extraordinarily helpful in the operation of our benefits.
