Event and Fundraising Ideas

• Take on a Dare to Remember – challenge yourself to an act of courage, ingenuity, determination, or strength in community. Click here to find out more!
• Bike, walk, run, or swim and invite your family, friends, colleagues and classmates to sponsor you. Create an online giving page and send out the link!
• Invite some friends over for a home-cooked meal and ask them to make a donation equivalent to what the meal would cost them at a restaurant. Download some donor forms here.
• Make a family celebration even more meaningful by asking your guests to donate to the Foundation instead of buying gifts. Create an online giving page here.
• Shine a light on the musical talent in your community and raise some money by putting on a concert. Sell tickets, ask for donations, and if you’re really motivated, hold a silent auction to add to your fundraising revenue.
• Donate the proceeds from your sales – whether a percentage of your business profits, or from your own handmade crafts.

Be as creative as you want. You've got the skills and talent to do something wonderful!
