Third-Party Fundraisers
Over the years, many Caring Place families, volunteers and community partners have hosted fundraisers to benefit grieving children. These events are organized by the individuals or companies as ways to help raise awareness and funds for the Caring Place. Often, the events are held in memory of a loved one, with proceeds benefiting the Caring Place (and occasionally split with a second organization).
Other initiatives are organized by local companies who want to support the mission of the Caring Place, hosting an employee fund drive or giving campaign, for example. Or kids and families want to do something to support children in need and set up simple one-time fundraisers like car washes or lemonade stands.
Whatever the venue, however the event is carried out, on behalf of the children and families who are helped, we say a big "THANK YOU!" to all of these efforts.
If you would like to see how you might connect an event to the Caring Place — whether it's already happening or is something you're dreaming of getting started — contact Michelle Vargas at michelle.vargas@highmark.com or 412-544-1679.
Be sure to follow our social media to learn more about these and other events throughout the year.
