2012 Fundraising Events

Fundraising events generate 30% of our total annual budget each year. The support we receive from sponsors, individuals and volunteers makes these events successful and helps guarantee that no child is ever turned away if the child’s family lacks the resources to pay for the cost of the services needed and provided.
