Community Based Fundraisers

The Gathering Place is regularly approached by people in the community who would like to raise money to support our mission.  We are so appreciative of these efforts and try however we can to support these community based fundraisers.  In addition to the money we receive each of these events also introduces new people to The Gathering Place. Below is a list of community based fundraisers:
