Who Can Host a Third Party Fundraiser?

Each year, individuals and organizations such as civic groups, social clubs, restaurants and businesses raise thousands of dollars for the Heart of America Chapter. These supporters demonstrate a commitment to the mission of the Alzheimer's Association by involving the community in raising significant funds and awareness for the Chapter. 

Third Party Event Ideas

Third party fundraisers can be as simple or as extravagant as you wish and could raise anywhere from $500 to $10,000 or more. Simple ideas could include a wine and cheese party for close friends, a garage sale, a jeans day at the office, donating a percentage of sales for a day/week, a school's classroom project or a game night.  More extravagant ideas could include hosting a silent auction, a large dinner party, or a sporting event such as a golf tournament, a basketball tournament or a run. The possibilities are endless.

If you are interested in hosting a third party fundraiser, please contact Trisha McClanahan at trisha.mcclanahan@alz.org or 913.831.3888.
