FUNDRAISE
Turn your passion into community support.
When you plan a fundraiser, you get to incorporate your interests and creativity. Focusing your efforts on something you enjoy drives a fundraiser’s success. Inviting friends and family to join you is another way to ensure your fundraiser has a significant impact on healthcare here in the Comox Valley.
The Foundation can support your fundraising in the following ways:
