Our staff is here to assist you and answer questions that may arise while planning your event. As a fundraiser we are here to support you with:
- Online platform with customizable fundraising page and link;
- Management of your offline donations and support with online donations;
- Letter for your potential sponsors identifying you as a Make-A-Wish donor event organizer upon receiving a list of companies you plan to approach;
- Our logo to promote your event;
- Make-A-Wish promotional material (upon request).
The fine print:
All events benefiting Make-A-Wish Canada must meet certain standards and criteria, in-line with the mission and values of the organization. Transparency for all event participants is important to help participants and donors to your event understand that the event is not produced by the organization nor the responsibility of the organization.
