As a charitable organization, we rely on the dedication and passion of our community to help sustain our unfunded services for adults, teens and children living with a developmental disability. We value working with businesses, organizations and individuals to strengthen our mission of inclusion, equality and community living.
How You Can Help
Organize an Event in Your Community
Hosting a third-party fundraising or awareness event is a meaningful way to make a difference and help the people we support. A third-part event is one organized by you, however big or small, the proceeds from which are donated to Community Living Trent Highlands. We are available to provide our support and resources to your event, and perhaps even to take part in the fun!
Find something that you and your employees already enjoy doing or think of something totally new! These are some examples of potential third-party events:
-
- Bake sale
- Dress down day
- A special day – perhaps a barbeque day in the summer or hot chocolate day in the winter
- Weight loss / fitness challenge
- Bowling / golf / curling tournament
- Dinner / dance
To discuss hosting an event on behalf of Community Living Trent Highlands, please contact our Director of Corporate Services Melinda Ferguson at (705) 328-0464, ext. 214 or via Contact Us.
