What's Your Passion - Host an event!

A Passion Fundraising event is created when a supporter is inspired by their favorite hobby or pastime to develop a unique fundraising event to help them raise money for their campaign. While traditional letter writing and social media campaigns can be effective tools, hosting a passion fundraiser is a fun way to elevate your fundraising efforts by getting friends, family, and the community involved.
