The Social Foundry was created to help underprivileged young people aged 17-25 years old bridge the intimidating gap between unemployment and meaningful employment. Established in October 2016 as a not for profit woodworking/carpentry social enterprise seeking to establish a 12-month transition to work program through workplace mentoring.

Hello everyone! my friend Gabby Aranda along with a small group of us have created a gofundme to raise money to start up a non-profit organization to help women who are in need of health care. After creating the non-profit, which will be called For All Women, we are focusing on raising money for a clinic in Madison called Share the Health which is open about once per month and is a free women's clinic where physicians and residents volunteer their time to treat underprivileged women. Our overall goal is to allow the clinic to be open more often and therefore help more people in need. Click the link to read more about our plans and consider donating! Thanks so much!

Here in Perth, we are having new inner-city developments that everyone is looking forward to. These developments are fantastic and will bring more tourism and vibrancy to the Perth City. However, a problem that they have is the possibility of destroying the river through increasing turbidity, higher temperatures and more acidity. This is why Perth and its people need fifty million dollars, so that we can protect the Swan River while still being able to build new developments.

Redkite holds a range of fun, professional and innovative events to raise funds for the children, young people and families they support. Redkite also offers the community to organize, hold or sponsor a fundraising event whether it’s a music concert or an art show, a team or personal challenge, a head shave and even a kite-making competition. One of the many large and popular events in which is run by a volunteer committee of young people working together to help raise money for Redkite, is the Sydney Color Ball Event. The Sydney Color Ball is like no other charity event, giving young professionals the opportunity to socialize and have a great night at a fun, sophisticated cocktail-style event. This is a no sit-down dinner; it’s a chance to light up the dance floor to live music, be waited on with substantial canapés and unlimited beer/wine, be caught up in a bidding frenzy on the silent auction, win raffles and door prizes and of course have a memorable night out with your friends, all while helping support Redkite. Redkite also offers support to young children with cancer through providing essential support including – education, counselling, career support and emotional support. It offers professional support through funding social workers in hospitals to offer real and practical assistance and counselling for families, when they need it the most. Redkite’s music therapy provides

"The non for profits that come out, the scout troops, the college organizations, the volunteer fire departments all rally around the event. It's just a nice way to give back," said Shelia Sutton, Wineglass Marathon Co-Director. Five years ago, the Wineglass Marathon began the tradition of giving back to the community. Since then, nearly $250,000 has been donated to local schools and organizations. This year's largest

To support our mission, donors gave over $1,000,000 this past year. We celebrated our first joint fundraising golf tournament with the Meals on Wheels programs of Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Durham in October 2014. This was a great opportunity to raise awareness in the Triangle for our three programs that collectively feed over 2,000 seniors every week day. An unfortunate blast of winter weather caused us to cancel our Fat Tuesday Gala, but we were able to turn the auction into a successful online event and we raised funds to purchase over 18,000 meals. Our Fat Tuesday Gala will return with even more exciting plans next year on February

We are a charitable community holding a different charitable events. There are soldiers which is a long time supporter of our community.

"This was one of the best days of my life,” says a Bailey-Boushay House (BBH) client about a special trip to the Puyallup Fair. When longtime donor Debbie Killinger wanted to provide for a recreational event that clients always ask for, Executive Director Brian Knowles suggested the Puyallup Fair. She agreed on the spot to provide for a fun outing that they had been requesting for years. “It made my heart sing to give them a day to enjoy themselves,” says Debbie. “It was incredible for me to see their fun photos and excited comments on Facebook. The event was a big hit!” Read More ...

The Saint Jude Bike-a-thon was a fundraiser my high school’s JROTC program ran every year to raise money for Saint Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, a unique facility that primarily works to cure children with cancer. Unlike other hospitals, the majority of funding for St. Jude comes from generous donors. It costs $2 million to operate

Since its inception it’s spread to all parts of Australia to ensure optimum reach in local communities. OzHarvest Nourish training centres have been donated from corporate funders and are close to capital city centres and public transport hubs. Fundraising events are held at each capital city hub to assist with both mission exposure and both tangible and intangible products and services offered. Since training centres are incorporated into the food rescue warehouse and food preparation kitchens, this allows participants to also gain access and an appreciation of the OzHarvest

When most people run up a hill, they slow down. When I see a hill, I speed up and say to myself: “I LOVE hills!” Of course, I don’t really mean it. Nobody’s fond of running up hills, especially on a violently hot day in the middle of August. I was taught this mantra by one of my Cross Country coaches, Kelly. If I don’t think that I can do something, the first thing I try is telling myself that I can. Mindset is about 75% of your performance in a race. I love to run because it makes me feel like I can do things that are impossible. When I get back from a five mile run in the pouring rain, I feel like everything is right with the world.

Sean: That’s great. I was going to tell you that really anybody that you come in contact with that is community minded could help in some way. And we call it the three T's. It's time, talent and treasure. Given that the limit is $400 for this race, a lot of folks that even if they don't have a lot of money they can budget it out over the next you and make that happen. As we're talking about these folks, especially folks that have sat on boards that, are great. When you were involved with United Way, were you ever on the board of United Way?
