Spectrum360 Capital Campaign

Besides donating directly to our campaign, there are many other ways to raise funds towards Independence360's expansion:

• Reach out to your employee to match your donation or see if your company can make their own corporate gift.
• Host an event! This could be a dinner party, jewelry fundraiser, charity workout class or cut-a-thon, just to name a few!
  • If you make it a Facebook event, we can share it on our social media!
• Create a Facebook Fundraiser for the campaign through this link at www.facebook.com/fund/Spectrum360
• Do you know of a one-of-a-kind experience we could auction off? Contact us and we will auction it off using Charitybuzz.
  • Examples include: lunch with a celebrity or CEO of a company, backstage or VIP tickets to a sporting event or show.
• Share our campaign on social media! The more people hear about it, the more will get involved. Help us share stories and messages to spread the word about our campaign. Don’t forget to use our hashtag #strengtheningtheconnection
• JUST ASK! Share why this campaign means something to you to your network of support.
• Request information and/or paper material. We can supply you with brochures and written materials to help spread the word.
