YWCA Tag Days
|
The YWCA holds a Tag Day
fundraiser 5 times a year. Our dedicated volunteers stand outside local
businesses for 2 ½ hours and collect donations while handing out service
cards. All money raised from Tag Day events support our Crossroads
Shelter and Food Action programs.
For more information, please call the Special Events
Coordinator at 705-743-3526, ext. 116. To volunteer for Tag Days, call our Volunteer Coordinator at 705-743-3526, ext. 130 or email
hmead@ywcapeterborough.org.

YWCA Tag Day
Volunteers pause for a
photo outside of the YWCA's Admin Office on August 20th, 2010.
YWCA Tag Day volunteer Tony exclaims that in all of his years
volunteering and fundraising, he has never EVER had a lineup of people
waiting to give him money like they did for the YWCA May Tag Days.
“People were so nice and generous. They had wonderful things to say
about the YWCA."

Third Party Events
A great way to support the YWCA is to donate the proceeds of an event that you run. Friends in the community raise money in many different ways,
including
fashion shows, coffee houses, musicals, plays and even garage sales. Let us know about your event and we can help you promote it!
Call the Special Events Coordinator at 705-743-3526, ext. 116 for
more information. |
