Host an Event

Make a difference while having fun.

Hosting an event to raise donations for healthcare is a great way to both support our Foundation and get your organization’s name out in the community. There are many ways you can help!

Start a lemonade stand, host your own raffle, organize a teddy bear or toy drive, host a run or a walk – the possibilities are endless, and your impact stays local!

What can my event support?

By signing up to host a fundraiser, you can choose how you would like to support local healthcare. Whether it is a piece of equipment, supporting one of our programs or champaigns, collecting comfort items for patients or thanking a healthcare worker with a coffee, you can choose how you would like your fundraiser to make an impact in the way most important to you.

Golf tournaments, invitational baseball matches, fun runs and marathons, and even bowling competitions are all great ways to bring people together.
