Host a DIY FUNdraiser!
From individuals, youth, girl or boy scout troops to retirement homes, there are many simple and fun ways to help the animals in our care. DIY (do it yourself) Fundraisers are simple, small fundraisers or wish list drives done by individuals or groups, like youth social clubs or school groups, external to UPAWS and benefit the shelter by donating the proceeds, and/or supply donations.
Here is a list of easy ideas that you can jump in and do on your own. If you wish to do a more complicated or larger event, will be soliciting businesses, or selling any kind of ticket, please first contact our shelter by email at fundraising@upaws.org.



Hold a DIY bake sale, car wash, lemonade stand, yard sale, percentage of sales from Pampered Chef, Thirty One, Papparazzi, etc. The ideas are endless for an simple DIY fundraiser!
