Community Fundraisers

Find out the many exciting ways that YOU can get involved!

There are many ways you can help us raise the money needed each year to keep George Mark Children’s House services available to our children and families.  

From organizing or helping at events to adopting George Mark Children’s House as your school or business' charity there are plenty of fun and exciting ways to contribute. If you would like to host an event, please contact Teri Rose at terirose@georgemark.org .

 

Here are some ideas for fundraisers you or your group can hold:

Have a birthday party in honor of George Mark and in lieu of gifts have friends bring gift cards or make donations to George Mark.

Hold a bake sale, hot dog sale, or ice cream social.

Host a walk-a-thon, bike race, concert, tea party, car wash, talent show, quiz competition, pancake breakfast, dance, apple bobbing contest, auction, or make up your own fundraiser.
