Special events for increasing impact

Participating in or hosting a fundraiser supports individuals and families facing severe hardship.

Together, we can build collective impact. Each event planned is an opportunity to pool your group, organization or team’s resources for a greater impact.

By sharing the effort, we multiply our funds, enthusiasm and impact. With our shared goals and vision to help others, we unite to create a stronger community and make a lasting difference in the lives of children and individuals in need during their lowest moments, when all other ideas to make ends meet have been exhausted.

Our signature fundraising events

Queen Bee

The Queen Bee campaign honors inspiring local women while raising funds to support families seeking safety and shelter at Harbor House and St. Anthony Family Shelter.

Night of Joy

Our annual Night of Joy gala gives Catholic Charities the opportunity to share our gratitude for your support.

Host a Fundraiser

Host your own fundraiser to help people in our community

Invite your friends and family to dinner and share about our mission.

You provide the venue, the food and a television screen. We’ll provide our video showing the impact donors will make in the lives of people in your community. We’ll also provide you with donation envelopes and a QR code card that links to our online donation form. Finally, we’ll acknowledge and thank each and every person who makes a financial contribution.
