Mark, Participant: “When I’m here with all of you, doing my art, I feel so much joy and peace.”

Ray, Caregiver: "You've been a lifesaver for our family--giving our mom more good years and us the ability to keep going as her caregivers."

It’s the most wonderful time of the year--when everyone is of good cheer! We’re rallying friends to help us spread the word and fundraise starting NOW! Woot woot!

Be part of our Circle Squad--folks that fundraise for our incredible mission! It’s simple: click the orange "Fundraise" button above and follow the prompts. Once you're done, you'll have your very own fundraising page and link to share with your network. Share that link through email, on socials, via text and watch your impact GROW!

Your few clicks can mean more days of care for those we serve in our adult day program like Mark and more support for local caregivers like Ray.

We hope to raise $70,000 by 12/31!

Please help us bring joy and care to older adults living with dementia in RVA and peace of mind to their caregivers by activating your network starting TODAY!

FAQs, just in case:

How do I tell people about my fundraiser?

If you're on social media, share your fundraising link there. Be sure to include a caption sharing your goal and why you're supporting Circle Center this holiday season. Another way is to send your link to your network through email or via text. Again, be sure to tell them why you're supporting us in your emails, posts, and texts.

How much should I try to raise?

That's up to you. We suggest at least $250, but if you've got a large network of philanthropically-minded friends, we encourage you to set your goal higher.

When should I promote my fundraiser?

We'd love for you to start today. Also, Giving Tuesday is 12/2/25. Consider reaching out to your network again prior to 12/2 to give to your Circle Center fundraiser in honor of Giving Tuesday.

Will I know who gives to my fundraiser?

Yes. All you have to do is visit your fundraiser through your custom link to see who has given. Also, you'll receive an email every time someone gives.

How do I thank my friends who give?

This platform, Givebutter, will automatically thank them and because you're notified via email of their gift, you can reach out to them directly too, if you'd like.

Who can I contact at Circle Center if I have more questions?

Ellen Thornhill at ethornhill@circlecenterva.org or at 804-355-5717 x244. Ellen is happy to help in any way you need!

THANK YOU!
