Event Support

Our annual fundraiser – the Celebration of Courage – celebrates the work of our community of supporters. We honor survivors, volunteers, and those who champion our mission.  Scheduled each year in early to mid-June, this event offers several opportunities to give:

  • Sponsor the event as an organization or as an individual.
  • Attend the event as a guest or VIP.
  • Participate in our raffle. Raffle tickets go on sale in April/May and you do not need to attend the event to participate/win!
  • Underwrite a $175 general admission ticket which grants a community member to attend the event who could not otherwise afford a ticket. Opportunity found within ticket purchase portion of event website.
  • Make an event donation.
  • Donate an item / experience to our event raffle by making an in-kind donation. Comprised of unique experiences, exciting excursions, fabulous items, fun activities, and so much more; we showcase these items as a fun way to support the mission of Ascend Justice while providing raffle participants a chance to win something truly special.  Interested in contributing in this manner? Please reach out to Director of Development, Joy Wright (jwright@ascendjustice.org), to learn more. 

Trivia Night, hosted by our Young Professionals Board (YPB), brings together the community for a night of trivia fun!  Scheduled each year in late October/early November, this is great opportunity to kick back, have some fun, and all for a good cause!  Here are the ways to support:

  • Sponsor the event as an organization or as an individual.
  • Attend the event as an individual or team of 6.
  • Make an event donation and help our YPB meet their event fundraising goal!
  • Support your favorite trivia team and give them a leg up on their competition by providing bonus points with your donation. (available roughly one-month prior to event date)

All event contributions provide the funding needed to support the day-to-day work of Ascend Justice staff.  Most event donations listed above are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.  Raffle tickets, event tickets, as well a portion of many of our event sponsorships are not fully tax-deductible.
