Turn your compassion into impact - Together for Rideauwood

Whether it’s a birthday, workplace event, or community gathering, you can make a difference by fundraising for Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services. Every dollar raised helps individuals and families access hope, healing, and new beginnings.

Why Your Fundraiser Matters

When you host a fundraiser for Rideauwood, you’re doing more than raising money — you’re opening doors, changing lives, and showing our community what compassion looks like in action.

  • You reach people we can’t — friends, family, and colleagues hear about our work in a way only you can share it.

  • You make giving easy — a BBQ, trivia night, or team challenge turns into a fun way to support a serious cause.

  • You multiply our mission — funds you raise go directly into programs and services that help people in our community receive vital support, rebuild, and thrive.

Ways to Fundraise

There’s no “one right way” to join Together for Rideauwood. Choose what fits your style:

  • Celebrate & Give Back: Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings.

  • Workplace Spirit: Jeans days, office pools, team challenges.

  • School or Campus Fun: Bake sales, game night, student-led initiatives.

  • Community Events: Trivia nights, concerts, BBQs, tournaments.

No matter the size, every effort adds up.

We’ll set you up for success with:

  • A welcome guide with event planning tips

  • A checklist to help keep you on track

  • Promotional templates for posters, emails, and social media posts
