Fundraising Events
The Advocacy Center would be unable to provide the level of service to the community that is needed without the support of donations and other financial support from fundraising events. Fundraising is increasingly more critical to sustaining our organization and its mission.
There are a variety of opportunities to support The Advocacy Center's fundraising events by serving on a fundraiser committee or helping to secure in-kind and corporate support, donations and ticket sales for events.
