Stomach Cancer Advocacy Day Donations & Fundraisers

Fuel the Movement: Donate or Fundraise

Your support helps us bring more advocates to Washington, D.C. for Stomach Cancer Capitol Hill Advocacy Day. Every dollar raised directly supports scholarships that allow stomach cancer survivors, caregivers, and families to travel and make their voices heard in Congress.

You can make a difference in two ways:

• Donate Today – Give directly to help cover travel and participation costs for advocates. Your gift empowers more people to take part in this life-changing event.

• Host a Personal Fundraiser – Create your own fundraiser to rally friends, family, and community members in support of Advocacy Day. You’ll receive a custom link or QR code to share and track donations that contribute to scholarships for yourself or others.

Across the country, our advocates are also organizing walks and events to raise funds for Advocacy Day. These community efforts not only fuel our scholarship program but also spread awareness and build momentum for change.

Together, we can ensure that cost never stands in the way of someone’s voice being heard.

Spotlight: Strides Against Stomach Cancer

In November 2024, patient advocate Lisa Bartoszewicz organized Strides Against Stomach Cancer, a powerful community walk that raised more than $20,000 in support of the 13th Annual Stomach Cancer Capitol Hill Advocacy Day in February 2025. Lisa’s event united survivors, families, and supporters to honor loved ones, raise awareness, and fund scholarships that helped advocates travel to Washington, D.C.

Her leadership shows how one person’s initiative can mobilize a community and create lasting impact. Fundraisers like Strides Against Stomach Cancer make it possible for more voices to be heard on Capitol Hill.
