Host Your Own Event

Whether you're running a marathon, hosting a golf tournament, organizing a market, celebrating a birthday, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give back, you can make a difference by fundraising for SARA for Women.

Third party fundraisers are events or initiatives organized by individuals, businesses, schools, community groups, or organizations that choose to support SARA for Women. Every fundraiser is unique, and every dollar raised helps women, children, and families in the Fraser Valley access safety, support, and hope.

There is no idea too big or too small. If it brings people together for a good cause, we'd love to hear about it.
