Each year, the SARAH Foundation hosts a variety of major fundraising events. Funds raised are used to grow the endowment, which in turn helps to support programs, services, and resources to individuals with intellectual and other disabilities.
These events include our May Gala, Summer Breeze Ride for Autism, Golf Classic, Food Truck Thursdays, BatterUp! Hittrax League, and Stand Up for SARAH. In addition to these events, the SARAH Foundation relies on local business partnerships. Through a variety of programs, area businesses can support the fundraising efforts which in turn support the mission of SARAH.
