Benefit Event/Activity Guidelines

While Duke Cancer Institute is pleased to be the beneficiary of fundraising events/activities held by outside entities, Duke Cancer Institute does not act as a sponsor of, advance monies or solicit sponsorship revenue for activities/events conducted by non-Duke entities. Duke Cancer Institute does not assume responsibility for the planning, publicity, or conduct of the event/activity, as those responsibilities remain solely with you as the entity organizing and holding the event/activity. We state this in advance so that there are not disappointments or misunderstandings with regards to our ability to participate with you and support your event. •Any individual, business or organization that wants to raise money for Duke Cancer Institute must first fill out a Benefit Proposal Form for review by the Office of Development. •No raffles will be conducted to benefit Duke Cancer Institute. •Once an application has been approved, the event organizers may begin soliciting sponsors and participants for the event. •All event materials – including, but not limited to, advertising, press releases, posters, flyers, tee-shirts and public service announcements – that include the Duke Cancer Institute’s name(s) or logo(s) must be reviewed by Duke Cancer Institute. •Duke Cancer Institute is the beneficiary, not the sponsor, of all benefit events. Promotional materials that use the Duke Cancer Institute’s name/logo should use the terms “proceeds to benefit Duke Cancer Institute.” In addition, in soliciting sponsors and participants, organizers should state that the event will benefit Duke Cancer Institute and not imply that Duke Cancer Institute is sponsoring the event. •As the beneficiary of this event, Duke Cancer Institute and its affiliates, including Duke University Health System, do not accept or assume any liability associated with the event. All bills are the responsibility of the organizing individual, business or group and must be paid before proceeds are given to Duke Cancer Institute. Duke Cancer Institute will accept the net proceeds of the event. •The sponsor retains all responsibility for the design and implementation of the event, including safety precautions. It is recommended that the sponsor obtain appropriate insurance coverage(s) in case of accident or other negative occurrence.
