Hosting a fundraiser for Crossroads with your friends, coworkers or community is a great way to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness.

About Hosted Fundraisers

Examples of hosted fundraisers:

  • Fitness challenges
  • Workplace competitions, dress down days, holiday parties
  • Birthdays for a cause
  • School events

    Fundraising success stories

    Providence College Against Domestic Violence

    Through Providence College Against Domestic Violence, our friend Vicky created a fitness event focused on survivors of Domestic Violence. During her event, attendees were empowered to tell their stories and participated in power-building exercises. Vicky and her community were able to raise thousands of dollars for survivors in Crossroads Domestic Violence Program!

    Performance Physical Therapy

    Every month, Performance Physical therapy hosts a dress down day to benefit a cause of their choice. Crossroads is grateful to have been the beneficiary of this effort, which raises money for individuals and families participating in Crossroads programs!
