Put the 'fun' in fundraiser for Community Living

I get so excited about summer events in our community. It’s not only that I have fun at the barbecues and book sales, concerts and canoe races, dances and derbies, and art tours and auctions that community members, businesses, and organizations host – I also love how events both big and small bring people together and, often, raise funds to support causes that make our community stronger into the future.

Those causes include our community-based housing initiatives for people with developmental disabilities and families who access our services. Our not-for-profit organization partners with JustGiving to provide you with all the tools and resources you need to make your event a successful fundraiser for Community Living Huntsville.

Are you planning a reunion of friends over afternoon tea? Have you always wanted to host a neighbourhood-wide chili cookoff? Is your extended family ready for an all-night dance-a-thon? Do you want to turn actual lemons into literal lemonade for a summer-drink stand that takes a stand for housing inclusion? I would be thrilled to chat with you about how you can easily put the “fun” in fundraiser and how we can support you with ideas and event promotion.

Visit the Create a Fundraiser page on our website to get started. If you have questions, please reach out to me at Jennifer.Jerrett@clhuntsville.ca or 705-380-4153. Let’s make this summer one to remember.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Jerrett
