You can create your own personal fundraising event or campaign to support Children’s Home + Aid. Here are just three ideas:
- In lieu of birthday, wedding, bar mitzvah or holiday gifts, invite friends and family to make a donation in your honor to Children’s Home + Aid. We can provide you with materials, envelopes – anything you need, or just direct your friends to our online donation form at childrenshomeandaid.org/donate.
- To create an online and social media campaign, you can use a website called everydayhero.com. It’s easy to sign up –when prompted to search for a charity, please search for Children’s Home & Aid Society. Follow the simple instructions, and in less than 10 minutes you will have your personal fundraising webpage, which you can then forward via email and social media to your friends and family.
- Plan your own event or gathering of friends, with proceeds going to Children’s Home + Aid. One of our volunteers, Marcia Todd, recently organized a film screening at her Home Owners Association clubhouse to raise funds to purchase playground equipment for the Gerri Hoffmann Early Child + Family Center where she volunteers. We can provide any support you need – just ask!
