I recently attended my very first FIA Conference, and I’m thrilled to share my experience with you all! 🎉 As someone who has primarily been involved in the corporate sector, stepping into the world of NFP has been so refreshing. The FIA Conference was an eye-opening journey that left me inspired and motivated. Here is what I discovered: Collaboration and Networking: The conference was a hub of collaboration. Non-profit professionals came together to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. Impactful Sessions: The conference featured a diverse range of sessions. From fundraising strategies to event ideas, each talk provided practical takeaways. I learned about innovative approaches to address social challenges and enhance the impact of NFP organisations. Purpose-Driven: The heart of the conference was the shared commitment to a purpose and everyone was aligned. Where passion meets purpose to create a positive change. Real Stories: Hearing personal stories from beneficiaries was incredibly moving. These narratives reminded us why we do what we do. Challenges and Solutions: The conference didn’t shy away from discussing challenges. We explored emerging issues and global trends. However, alongside the challenges, we also delved into creative solutions and adaptive strategies. Let’s continue working together to create a better world! 🌎💙 #FIAConference #WherePassionMeetsPurpose National Breast Cancer Foundation Fundraising Institute Australia

🌟 To Do Good & To Do Well! 🌟 What a powerful mantra! It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of a financial advisory firm that truly cares about giving back to society. I’m proud to represent Financial Alliance Pte Ltd. Last month, we came together as a team to brainstorm our latest initiative: the “Healthy, Wealthy, and Happy Life Colorectal Cancer Awareness Campaign” in collaboration with the Singapore Cancer Society. 🙌 We realized we had a unique opportunity to make a real difference. We're not just financial advisers; we're a united force dedicated to making a positive impact. By focusing on preventive healthcare, like colorectal cancer screening, we’re not just safeguarding our clients’ financial futures but also their overall well-being. It’s financial planning that puts people first. 💚 Cancer is not a sprint; it’s a marathon! The #SCS is tirelessly raising cancer awareness in Singapore, organizing the annual “Race Against Cancer”—a fundraising event that’s both physical and virtual. This event raises crucial funds for cancer treatment subsidies, welfare assistance, rehabilitation, hospice care, screenings, research, and support initiatives. Want to make a difference today?

I wish I were one of the 12 women granted $20 million by Melinda French Gates. I would have distributed it among C/Can cities' local CSOs to strengthen their organizational capacity, enabling them to expand their impactful work without  fundraising and reporting hassles. (#MelindacallIsabel) Until Melinda gets to know us and learns that the C/Can model works, I will continue working closely with all our partners. 😍 Because cancer care requires a cross-sector commitment to drive real and meaningful change, partnerships between the non-profit and for-profit sectors are essential. For 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Roche. Our journey has been incredibly rewarding, filled with challenges and breakthroughs. After a comprehensive partnership review of our collective impact, we decided to document our journey and develop a collaboration framework between City Cancer Challenge and Roche. We both agree this framework could help many organizations navigate cross-sector collaborations. It may not be a one-size-fits-all, but I believe it will benefit many CSOs and corporates.

In a world where challenges loom large, the power of collective resilience shines brighter than ever. The recent Dolphins Challenge Cancer event is a prime example of this strength, rallying 6,702 individuals to raise an impressive $12 million. This huge effort beat last year's amount and reached the target of $75 million for the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center earlier than expected! It's incredible to witness such a phenomenal success. It is a testament to the unstoppable spirit of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium leadership and each participant who turned adversity into victory together. Their collective resilience has powered a movement that's met one of the most ambitious donation goals in sports history, showing the world what's possible when we unite for a common cause. "One team. One fight." The resilience, unity, and strength displayed are truly inspiring. Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., put it well when he said, "Thanks to the unwavering support from the South Florida community and our amazing partnership with the Miami Dolphins, we've been able to achieve so much at Sylvester, pushing the boundaries of cancer research." When you focus your efforts on a goal, you're bound to succeed. Well done, Miami Dolphins! This event has made a real impact in the fight to save lives. #Community #Resilience #Teamwork #MiamiDolphins #CancerResearch

Today it starts! 🌍💪 As many of you know, I have been fortunate to survive ovarian cancer, but sadly, not everyone is as lucky. That’s why Lena's Run for Life means so much to me—and why I hope you'll join me in making a difference. Starting Monday, September 2nd, we’ll be walking, biking, and running—any way we can—toward a shared goal: raising awareness for ovarian cancer. This isn’t your typical race; there’s no fixed distance. Instead, every kilometer you log counts as we aim to collectively circle the globe in solidarity. Participating is simple: just set aside one hour at any time during the week of September 2nd to 8th, wherever suits you best. Whether it's a walk, a bike ride, or a run, your contribution matters. The participation fee is SEK 150 (around EUR 13), and every single cent raised goes directly to vital research on one of the deadliest cancers affecting women—ovarian cancer. I’m incredibly grateful to be a survivor, but not everyone has been so fortunate. By joining this event, you’re not just supporting me—you’re standing with all women fighting this deadly disease. Sign up: https://lnkd.in/dn9eK7T5 Let’s make every step, every pedal, and every kilometer count! 💙 #LenasRunForLife #OvarianCancerAwareness #SupportResearch
