Organize a Fundraising Event

Many donations to the Radiothon are made on that day by phone or on-line. Every year donors of all ages and all walks of life are finding creative ways to give to their hospital. Some give their babysitting money; some donate money from their coffee club and book club kitties. Still others raise money in their school or neighbourhood by organizing an event prior to the day of the Radiothon. The downloadable guide has some quick tips and is intended to encourage you to get started on a fundraising idea of your own.

Our Challenge to You �

Phil Panelas, past chair of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation recently threw out this challenge to our community.

"I encourage individuals and groups to consider holding some type of fundraising activity between now and June 1st. Proceeds from these fundraisers could take us over the top on the day of the Radiothon. Working together to raise money for life saving equipment right here at home is a cause that is well worth the investment."

Please let the Foundation know about your fundraising plans ahead of time. We want to help you as well as show our appreciation by recognizing your hard work at the Radiothon.

Please note: The Foundation must approve events where our name and logo are to be used. We will give you our written approval. This assures donors and supporters the money they give to your fundraiser will be received by the Foundation. Please forward us your completed Third Party Event Proposal Form included in the guide to Wendy Warner or Briar Boyce at the Trenton or Picton Foundation office.
