I have been a regular donor to Rally since attending their model event in 2012. They are very focused on the mission of serving families and funding research. So much so that 93 cents of every dollar goes to this mission. I feel confident that my donations are being used wisely and making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
Rally is a fantastic organization that is working to find a cure for Childhood Cancer. I have been a team member of Rally NW for two years and will be back again because of the mission and how Rally uses the funds that are donated. There are too many organziations that put a significant amount toward "administrative" costs, but more than 90% of the funds donated go directly to the cause. That in itself is amazing.
