Are you interested in organizing a fundraising event in your community to support healthcare?
Fundraising events organized by community members are important to the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation. In addition to the funds raised for a great cause, it is an opportunity to make new connections within our community.
The funds raised can be allocated to an area of your choice – a department, a specific piece of equipment, an area of research – and can be done in memory of someone who was cared for by the Valley Regional Hospital, or to recognize the good work done by a staff member, team, or simply supporting Valley Regional Hospital. The reason is yours to choose.
Need some ideas? Here are some to get you started:
- Trivia night
- Golf tournament
- Garage Sale
- Cocktail Party
- Birthday/Anniversary/Holiday Party
- Workplace Casual/Jeans day (workplace)
- Sports/Games Tournaments
- Bake Sale
- Employee Match Program

- Chilli Cook Off
- Pumpkin Carving Contest
- Craft/Plant Sale
- Head shave
- Raffle for a vacation day (workplace)
