Host a Fundraiser
Third-party events are the pulse of the CdLS Foundation. The creativity, leadership, and collaboration of families, volunteers, and the community who coordinate and host these events throughout the country and year truly impact and sustain our work. If you are interested in hosting a third-party event, don’t hesitate to contact Lisa Schroder, and we can start planning.
The CdLS Foundation will support you in every step of the way. Below are some third-party events that took place in our community. They are fun to coordinate and host and can range from a dress-down day to a cornhole tournament; the possibilities are endless. Together we will continue reaching out, providing help, and giving hope.
Purple Pickle Tournament

Mike, a board member and dad to Connor, who has CdLS, hosts his annual CdLS Backyard Obstacle Course in honor of his son. Mike has been fundraising for the Foundation for the past 14 years.

Tea Party
Hosting a High Tea Fundraising Event is a great way to bring people together for a memorable experience of food, drinks, and pleasant conversations while raising awareness and funds for the CdLS Foundation. This is a wonderful event for grandparents to host. You can request a donation to attend or set a registration fee, perhaps adding a silent auction. Together we can create a memorable and fun Tea Party.
Ice Cream Social
Ice cream socials are easy ways to raise awareness and funds, especially in the summer. It doesn’t cost much money, and the items needed are readily available. Consider purchasing ice cream from Walmart or Costco in large/bulk sizes. You can charge a flat fee or charge by scoop. It is usually easier to charge a flat fee, though. Let’s all scream for ice cream.
