Community hosted events are a wonderful way to give back, say thank you and raise funds.

Host A Virtual Event
We are in unprecedented times and our world is constantly changing. If you wanted to host an event in support of Headwaters Health Care Foundation, you can still do that, but virtually! We have lots of ideas to get you started.
 
  • Challenge your friends to raise funds for Headwaters – create your own fundraising page and inspire your friends to do the same. Please visit https://hhcfoundation.akaraisin.com/ui/hhcpersonalpages
  • Host a charity live stream on social media
  • A silent auction or raffle
  • Host a birthday – or other celebration fundraiser
  • Host a bottle-drive in support of Headwaters
The support of our community is the key to our success. We recognize the effort it takes to hold an event on our behalf. We're here to help!
