Host Your Own

Get involved by hosting your own fundraising event.

The 100,000 Canadians who serve in our Armed Forces have a diverse range of experiences and expertise, but they share a common commitment to protecting and defending our country, both at home and abroad.

They’ve had our backs – now it’s time we had theirs. Whether they are facing healthcare challenges, their families need support, or they are seeking to transition to civilian life, it’s our responsibility to make sure their needs are met. By accepting that responsibility and giving generously, Canadians can find their own ways to serve. We are a stronger, more inclusive country when Canadians give back to those who have given everything.

Community events can take place any time throughout the year! No matter the season, people want to help support Canada’s military community.  Seasonal events, such as holiday parties or summer BBQs, can be extremely successful so consider when you want to host your event.

Some other ideas to consider: a bake sale, lemonade stand, garage sale. car wash, host a tournament (golf, dodgeball, curling or board games) or consider a virtual movie night, a trivia nigh or a scavenger hunt! Any event can be turned into a fundraising event if you invite friends, family and co-workers to donate.
