Various community and corporate fundraising events have been held across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States to support health services.

In late September, events in the UK and Ireland raised funds for pediatric care. A charity ball in Liverpool raised over £91,000 for Claire House Children’s Hospice, while the Cancer Fund for Children held its annual Daisy Ball in Dublin to support young people living with cancer.

By October, fundraising efforts continued with a focus on cancer support. In the UK, the Ironbridge Titty Trail raised over £45,000 for the Lingen Davies Cancer Support Sunflower Appeal. Simultaneously, in the United States, Brown University’s football team conducted its 22nd annual ‘Bench Press for Cancer’ fundraiser in Rhode Island to benefit cancer survivorship programs.
