Fundraise
Our Signature Fundraisers
Every year, we host signature fundraisers to raise money for BC’s transplant children and their families. Our largest event is our Children’s Organ Transplant Society Classic Golf Tournament. With over 120 golfers and 200 total supporters, this annual fundraiser brings together corporate donors, transplant survivors, our ambassador, and community members for an incredible cause. In addition, we hold an annual Season of Giving campaign in November/December to support the medical, nutrition, and transportation needs of our families through the new year.

Classic Golf Tournament
Held at the beautiful Quilchena Golf and Country Club, our Classic Golf Tournament is an opportunity for golf-enthusiasts to play on a prestigious private course.
Enjoy a day of golf, tastings, games, and a BBQ lunch, before returning in the evening for a buffet dinner, silent and live auction, powerful speeches, 50/50 draw, and prize giveaways.

Season of Giving
85-95% of BC’s transplant children and their families struggle financially, without the additional pressure of the holiday season. During November and December, we hold a Season of Giving campaign to raise funds for medical, nutrition, and transportation costs to boost our families into the new year.
Medical, nutrition, and transportation support can make the difference between illness and health for our transplant children. We provide aid so that families do not have to decide between paying bills, feeding their families, or getting to the hospital for a doctor’s appointment.
We hope that during the Season of Giving, we can inspire others to reach into their hearts and share their potential resources to others in need.
