Host a fundraiser

Who can host a fundraiser?

Anyone can apply to host a fundraising event to benefit ProHealth. We welcome the energy, enthusiasm and support of individuals, community groups, schools, businesses and more. Previous fundraising experience isn’t required.

Why hold a fundraiser?

By holding your own fundraiser for ProHealth, you can:

• Help us continually improve the health of Waukesha County and the surrounding area.
• Honor a friend, family member or colleague.
• Raise awareness for a cause you care about.
• Support local health care programs, services and facilities.

Steps to host a fundraiser

All community-hosted fundraising events for ProHealth are reviewed by our foundation. Help your event be as successful as possible by following these steps:

• Decide what type of fundraising event you’d like to host. (See ideas below.) Think about target audience, budget, location and time/date.
• Review our third-party event policy to make sure we’re a good fit for your event.
• Submit a fundraising event application 45 days to 12 months before your event. You’ll learn whether your application has been approved within two weeks.
• Plan your event, making sure to get necessary permits and/or insurance.
• Promote your event. (We’ll help, when appropriate, by sharing it internally and listing it on our online classes and events calendar.)
• Hold your event.
• Submit proceeds to the Foundation within 60 days of the event.
