What is a Third Party Fundraiser?
A Third Party Fundraiser is an event planned and hosted by someone other than the organization or charity the money is being raised for. An individual or business may create a fundraising campaign to benefit a particular non-profit.
Huron Shores Hospice benefits from third party events by:
-
Raising awareness of the work we do
-
Interacting with the community
-
Receiving financial support from event net revenues for programs and the operation of our residential hospice suites
