Special Events
Catholic Charities fundraisers provide support towards our programs and services that assist those in the greatest of need throughout the entire year. Approximately 15% of our annual revenue is raised through these events that mean so much to so many. It means being able to feed a hungry family, provide a toy to a child at Christmas, offer diapers to a single mother, and expand services in a way never done before throughout all eight counties within the Diocese of Fresno. Your support allows hope to be shared with those who are hungry, homeless, seeking refuge, disaster-stricken, out-of-work and suffering every single day.
