We often say, "Give what you do!" And we've seen some truly creative fundraising opportunities.  And you know, you can't do a fundraiser without raising awareness.  Nearly all of our fundraisers are volunteer led.  

​

Whether big or small, every dime and and every effort is a blessing to the youth we serve. 

 

There is no way we could list them all, but some ideas we've been blessed by include:

​

• Hosting a fundraiser on Facebook (Giving Tuesday, your birthday!, just because).

• Have a bake sale (at work, at church, at your vendor fair).

• We have a volunteer that designs and creates beautiful jewelry; proceeds to Chains Interrupted.

• Bike rides, car cruises, motorcycle rides

• Someone did a birthday run for his milestone birthday and asked his friends to donate for every mile he ran!

• One of our volunteers designs and sells RFID wallets!

• Pay to wear jeans (or pajamas or ???) to work one day.

• We've seen barn dances, backyard parties and ugly sweater parties that charged an admission/donation.

• A store opened early and charged admission/donation!

• A hair salon had a donation jar on the counter. Their corporate owners matched every dollar.

• Match your donation through your employer.

• Ask your employer to 'round up' for a set period of time.

• The options really are endless.
