Third Party Fundraisers

You have the power to bring your community together and support women and children rebuilding their lives after violence.

Hosting a third-party fundraiser is a fun and meaningful way to rally friends, family, co-workers, or neighbours around a cause that matters.

No idea is too big or too small and every effort helps bring hope and healing to individuals impacted by intimate partner abuse.

Past fundraisers have included:

• Zumbathons, walkathons, spin-a-thons, sports tournaments & concerts

• Bake sales 

• Parlour groups / cocktail parties

• Donations in lieu of a gift (birthdays, holidays, bar/bat mitzvahs, retirements)

• Megillah readings

• Casual dress day at work 

• Facebook and other social media fundraisers

Zumbathon

When Shirley Pollak, Past President of Auberge Shalom, speaks of the work at our centre, people don’t only listen, they are moved.

And some, like Shirley’s super Zumba instructor, Jenni Morse, are moved to move; Jenni was so inspired by the mission of Auberge Shalom, she organized a large Zumbathon in our benefit.

This uplifting Party in Purple has been held for several years attracting hundreds of Zumba enthusiasts and supporters and raising thousands of dollars for Auberge Shalom.

Birthday walk-a-thon

I organized a fundraiser for my 40th birthday because I have been working closely with a woman who happens to have just celebrated the same birthday. She is kind and smart and I couldn’t help but think that in another set of circumstances, we would have been friends.  On a regular basis in my counselling work at Auberge Shalom, I meet women dealing with horrific abuse in their intimate relationships. Auberge Shalom helps women and children from all different walks of life,  financial backgrounds, cultures and religions. I couldn’t ask for a more meaningful birthday gift than to support these resilient and inspiring women.
