Ways You Can Fundraise
Whether it’s a personal challenge, sharing your story or connection to foster care, or fundraising in honor of your birthday or someone special, your creativity fuels connection. No matter how you get involved, your efforts make a real difference. Every act of support helps ensure children, youth, and families experiencing foster care feel seen, supported, and part of a caring community. When you show up, hope follows.

Celebrate a birthday or milestone by asking for donations instead of gifts
Take on a personal challenge like running, walking, cycling, or another fitness goal
Organize a friendly competition with friends, family, or coworkers
Share a personal story or experience to inspire others to give
Create something to sell (art, crafts, baked goods) and donate the proceeds
Host a virtual or small in-person gathering to engage your community
