Get creative... Mark a milestone... Make an impact... Fundraise... Your Way
Create Your Own
Have fun coming up with your own fundraising idea! You can turn your favorite hobby, talent, passion or unique idea into a fundraiser on your own timeline any way you want. Make your special occasion — your birthday, anniversary, diaversary, wedding, graduation, a child's first visit from the tooth fairy or even a holiday — a celebration. Engage friends, family and coworkers anytime and anywhere — whether they live next door or 2,000 miles away. Don't be afraid to push the limits of your imagination. It's all about picking something special to you and having fun with it!
Start a FundraiserIndividual and Team Events
You can raise money on your own or make it a team event. If you really love animals, offer dog-walking or cat sitting services around your neighborhood for donations. Or hold a scavenger hunt where each team member competes to solve the clues the fastest and raise the most money leading up to the event. Plan a celebration around a specific milestone event and have people make donations in lieu of gifts. Or have a karaoke night around your diaversary and request attendees to make a donation.
