Host a fundraiser
Hosting a fundraiser offers our community the opportunity to raise money in support of Sorrentino’s Compassion House. Big or small, every dollar raised helps women facing cancer who stay with us.
Make an impact from your community
Organizing a fundraiser is a meaningful way to bring people together in support of women facing cancer, no matter where you’re located. Women who stay at Sorrentino’s Compassion House come from communities across Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and beyond, making community-led fundraising a powerful way to give back close to home.
While funds raised go toward the overall needs of the House, they help ensure every guest feels cared for, supported, and at home during a difficult time.
If you’re planning a fundraiser, we’d love to hear about it. Sharing your details helps us support your efforts, whether that’s providing our logo, answering questions, or helping you get started.
