Our work in the Alberni Valley has been supported by many amazing ambassadors and supporters who raise funds for us through third-party fundraising efforts, and we would love to name you one of them!
For over 37 years, Sage Haven Society has been creating safer spaces for women and children impacted by intimate partner violence in Port Alberni — something we can’t do without the support of others. Sage Haven Society invites you to join hands in creating meaningful change right here in the Alberni Valley by hosting a third-party Fundraiser benefiting Sage Haven.
If you’re eager to make a positive impact in Port Alberni without committing to long-term volunteering, hosting a third-party fundraiser for Sage Haven Society offers a rewarding avenue for community involvement. These events provide an opportunity to contribute directly to the well-being of women and children facing the impacts of intimate partner violence without the need for extensive time commitments.
Whether it’s organizing a bake sale, hosting a themed party, or engaging in a creative fundraising initiative, individuals and businesses can play a vital role in supporting Sage Haven Society’s mission. It’s a chance to channel your enthusiasm and energy into a single, impactful event that resonates with the values of community, compassion, and empowerment.
