Do It Your Way: Fundraise for Survivors
Turn your passion into support for survivors. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a backyard BBQ, or running your first 5K, you can raise life‑changing funds that fuel ECLI‑VIBES’ trauma‑informed services across Long Island.
Your DIY fundraiser helps power crisis response, counseling, legal advocacy, the SAFE Program, anti‑trafficking services, and our community food pantry.
Donate Your Birthday
Ask for donations instead of gifts. Set your age (or any number!) as your goal, share why ECLI‑VIBES matters to you, and celebrate with impact.
Run a Race
Run for survivors. Pick a race, set a fundraising goal, and ask friends to sponsor each mile as you cross the finish line with purpose.
Host a Dinner Party or BBQ
Invite friends, cook something you love, and ask guests to contribute what they’d spend eating out. Add a short toast about why you care.
Dedicate Your Performance
Play for a purpose. Pick a show, spread the word between songs, and encourage your crowd to donate in support of survivors.
Hold a Yard Sale
Declutter for good. Sell unused items and route proceeds to your page. Bonus: ask neighbors to add their items too!
