Fundraise your way!

When you fundraise for us, you are supporting individuals and families who are dealing with illness or grief.

You are helping them find support, partake in programs, and find connections that will help them through their journey.

Hospice Dufferin is responsible for raising 40% of our funds through fundraising. We are a strong believer in the power of partnership and know that great things are possible when people work together. That’s where you come in. Every dollar you help raise has a lasting impact in our community and we are grateful for the creativity people to bring to third-party fundraisers in support of Hospice Dufferin. 

How does it help?

Connecting to our community is the core of everything we do.

You can play an important role in strengthening what we do by supporting us with a third-party fundraiser in support of Hospice Dufferin. 

  These events and initiatives are a great way to broaden our support base, increase awareness about the opportunities we offer, and inspire people within your own network to support something you are passionate about.
