Other ways to Support DYF
• Create a Fundraiser
You can Fundraise for DYF any time by creating a Facebook Fundraiser, by fundraising on Instagram, or by hosting your own fundraising event! Some of our most successful fundraisers have been camper led. DYF community members have created school fundraisers, scout fundraisers, have raised money through recitals or concerts, hosted Super Bowl party fundraisers, and have even asked for donations for their dia-birthdays! All fundraising proceeds go towards making DYF’s programs possible. You come up with the idea, and DYF will support the fundraising platform.
If you’d like more information on creating and hosting fundraising events, please contact Shanti Peterson, Donor & Corporate Relations Manager at peterson@DYF.org.
