One of the best ways in which you can help make your community healthier is by planning a fundraiser.
You can invite your family, friends, and neighbours to join you in the effort. It’s a great way to give back, build stronger relationships and spread the word about the work of the YMCA of Greater Vancouver.
There are dozens of ways in which you can help your community grow stronger by fundraising for the YMCA. See below for our downloadable Community Supporter Guide and Toolkit.
Fundraisers come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Plan a wine and cheese night at your home or business
- Invite friends to make a donation to the Y on your birthday
- Teach your kids about the importance of philanthropy by doing a lemonade stand in support of the Y
- Hold a block party so that everyone in your neighbourhood can get involved
