These fundraisers can be planned by anyone—community clubs, PTAs, businesses, and any individual passionate about teen suicide prevention. Whether it’s a chic bruncheon, a fitness event, or a special concert, there’s a number of directions you can take when hosting your own fundraising event.

One thing is for sure: the funds raised and connections made through third-party fundraising with Teen Lifeline help save lives!
