Fundraising
Fundraising has evolved since our inception in 1997. We now proudly host two fundraisers annually: the Founders Luncheon, held in February, and the Red Wagon Appeal. The Red Wagon Appeal is a virtual event which runs from October 1 – November 30. It is from these two events that over 80% of our annual revenue is generated, which enables us to help the underserved children in Collier County.
