Our fundraiser through RaiseRight raises money for operating costs of Special Friends Ministries, while also allowing families to raise funds that go towards their individual cost to attend our camps.
RaiseRight uses the purchase of giftcards to donate a percentage of the cost of the giftcard to our cause. There are a wide range of popular stores, restaurants, and online stores that are available. You can get gift cards for your everyday shopping and help support our cause at the same time.
