Union Station’s supporters know how important our work is. They encourage friends, family, customers, clients and colleagues to make financial gifts to Union Station Homeless Services, and now it’s easier than ever to create your own fundraiser to benefit our life-saving programs.
Here are some of the creative ways you can raise money for Union Station while doing things you love:
Home Sweet Home Holiday Party: Help someone in need this holiday season by hosting your own “Home Sweet Home” Holiday Party. It’s easy. Pick a location. Pick a date. Invite friends, family and colleagues. And, ask your guests to make a donation to benefit Union Station’s clients. Download the Home Sweet Home Party Planning Kit and plan your party today!
Online Fundraising: Create your own fundraising page, then email family and friends to sponsor you. Visit www.firstgiving.com/unionstation for tips for online fundraising for any occasion, from marathons to birthdays.
Join our Marathon Team: Have your friends and family sponsor you for the Pasadena Marathon, or any athletic event, by asking them to send a tribute gift to Union Station in your honor. (This is a great one for an online fundraising page at www.firstgiving.com/unionstation.)
Car Wash and/or Lemonade and Cookie Stand: Organized together or separately, these are great opportunities to get the kids involved and instill the values of philanthropy at a young age.
Be creative! Inspire us by dreaming up your own creative way to help raise funds for Union Station. You’ll be surprised at how much fun it can be!
