Host a Fundraiser
You can make a difference and help support the great work of Celebrate Differences by conducting your own fundraiser to support our mission. You can use the following ideas to start planning your own event.
"Dress Down for Disabilities Day"
Celebrate Differences encourages businesses and organizations to help promote the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with disabilities by "Dressing Down" at work. Anytime of the year is a great time for a "Dress Down for Disabilities Day" fundraiser. Participating is a great way for local companies to encourage team building within their business or organization and boost morale, while helping families in their community. For a small contribution to Celebrate Differences, individuals are allowed to wear casual clothing to work. For more information on how to organize a "Dress Down for Disabilities Day "at your place of business or organization, please contact us at or 630-885-3006.
Throw a Party
Dinner/Dessert Party: Invite friends and family over for dinner/dessert and ask them to make a donation equal to what they would have paid for a dinner/dessert at a local restaurant. Local restaurants and bakeries may be willing to donate items for your event.
Theme Party: Celebrate a birthday, anniversary or any holiday with a theme party and ask everyone who attends to make a donation instead of of a gift.
Coordinate a Sporting Event or Tournament
Tennis, Golf, bowl-a thons, dance-a-thons, walk-a-thons and other sports can all be set up as events or tournaments with all proceeds from entry fees, refreshments and silent auctions going to Celebrate Differences.
Auction
Collect donated items from local businesses and host a live or silent auction.
Car Wash
Hold a car wash in the parking lot of a local supermarket or large shopping center with all funds raised directed toward Celebrate Differences. Please be sure to get prior approval from an establishment prior to hosting or advertising a car wash.
Yard Sale
Ask your friends and family to donate items to your yard sale. Since all proceeds from the sale would be benefitting Celebrate Differences, you will be surprised by how generous people can be. You can even sell refreshments at the event to raise additional money.
