NOMINATE A SCHOOL

GET YOUR SCHOOL TO FUNDRAISE FOR KIDS.NOW

http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/103112/single-star-black-design.gif Help students to help others that live right in their community. Let the kids think up their ways to help! Whether it’s a bake sale, a movie night, a raffle, a holiday concert or a fashion show, any activity will go a long way to help our youth. Contact <us> to talk about an event that could work for your school.
 

HOST A COMMUNITY EVENT

http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/103112/single-star-black-design.gif We’re big fans of third-party fundraisers. Host a neighbourhood or community event – street hockey, golf tourny, family BBQ, garage sale, seasonal luncheon, a silent auction. Give a donation in lieu of a birthday or holiday gift, or add a donation with your holiday card. Host a dinner party and invite guests to make a donation rather than bringing wine. We have ideas to help integrate support for kids.now into your next event. Contact us to get the party started.
