website, via Twitter and Facebook, through our

online and offline newsletters, and emailing our

staff internally to inform them of the event.

desired (to make a speech, take pictures, for a

cheque presentation).

through a thank you letter on Humber letterhead,

a plaque to hang on the wall (if requested) and a

space in our newsletter which recognizes your or-

ganization’s efforts.

Unfortunately we are not able to:

other in kind or monetary gifts.

We’ll be there.

Piggy backing on an existing event that you are already a part of.

Does your company or community group host an annual holiday party, luncheon, sports tournament or team building

event? Consider taking a pre- existing event and adding Humber as a beneficiary. Examples include charging $20 instead

of the regular $15 for your holiday luncheon and donating that extra $5 to Humber. Another example would be getting

participants from a sports tournament to fundraise.

Starting a new event from the ground up.

Planning and executing a new fundraising event is always exciting and rewarding. Examples can range from hosting a

BBQ to a tea party, hosting a car wash, yard sale, a movie night, bake sale, auction etc.

Giving a portion of proceeds. Do you own a business or know someone that has one and wants to give back?

Designate a specific time period where a portion of proceeds from a particular item or service go back to Humber.

Examples could include almost anything from the percentage of sales from an entrée to a manicure. The possibilities are

endless!

Tricks of the trade.

Give us a ring. Need help or advice on how to execute a successful event?
