Connect for a Cause – created by Organizers Northwest
This unique group was started when Missy Gerber saw an opportunity to blend business with noble causes. Her very simple, innovative model brings together businesses in an event twice a year for the benefit of local non-profit organizations.
The “fee” (per person) ranges from $30 to $40 and the event may be held in a public space, a private home or at the non-profit itself. Sometimes the group volunteers at the organization, sometimes the event is simply an evening of conversation among the participants with a short talk by the recipient non-profit. Expenses for the event are subtracted from the total amount received and the remaining amount is donated to that non-profit.
If you are a business owner who would like to help others but can’t squeeze it into your overbooked schedule, this may be a perfect fit for you.
Would you like to attend an event? Email Missy at missy@organizersnw.com with “Please Add Me To CFC” in the subject line. You will be invited to any future events.
See you there!
