The Fundraising Committee raises funds to support the great work of PSARA.
Members conduct two major fundraising campaigns annually including Give Big in the spring and an End of Year solicitation. It also sponsors events such as concerts, storytellers, book reading by local authors and more. We reach out to other organizations for annual donations and apply for grants as the opportunity presents itself. Members also support agency events such as organizing our general membership meetings and PSARA’s anniversary celebration. Our work results in significant resources for PSARA and the PSARA Education Fund.
We welcome all who want to help and we have fun planning and organizing our events and activities. Please contact Karen Richter, Fundraising Chair at president@psara.org for further information.
