If you enjoy planning events, then why not plan a fundraiser to support Peel Children’s Aid Foundation?

​
Whether it’s a golf tournament, a formal gala, an afternoon BBQ or any other event you choose, your monetary contribution will support children and families in our community.
Tips for getting started:

Brainstorm and ask yourself the following questions:

  • What type of event do I want to host?
  • How will I make this event stand out from others?
  • Where will it take place?
  • What will it cost?
  • Do I need a permit?

​Get help from family and friends and assign tasks. Develop realistic fundraising goals. Develop a budget based on your fundraising goals. Set the date and place of the event. Call Peel Children’s Aid Foundation to register your event. Gather volunteers to work the event.
