Raise Love – Host a Fundraiser

Raise Money and Raise Love for RMHC CTMA!

You can become a champion for RMHC CTMA families by hosting a third-party fundraiser! Third-party fundraisers not only generate vital monetary and in-kind resources for RMHC CTMA programs but also build a network of support, raise awareness, and empower individuals, groups, and corporations to become advocates for the families that call us home.

By organizing and conducting fundraising events on behalf of RMHC CTMA, you can impact the families we serve and become an ambassador for our mission among your family, circle of friends, office group, and community at large. The money you raise from your fundraiser will directly support our families! You will alleviate the costs associated with providing families with everything they need to feel supported during their child’s care.

Common third-party fundraising ideas

Your fundraiser can range in size and scale depending on your creativity and resources. No matter the size, all third-party fundraisers help provide RMHC CTMA families with all they require during their stay.

Common third-party fundraising ideas are:

  • Dress down/Jeans day
  • Bake sale or car wash
  • Road races (run, walk, or bike!)
  • Peer-to-peer fundraising

These are just a few examples, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to creative ways to raise funds for RMHC CTMA families through third-party initiatives!
