CNO has access to a great new fundraising tool!
If you're planning on running a 3rd party fundraiser, want to solicit support for an event, or even if you're having a birthday celebration the online PEM tool is a great way to raise funds.
Online giving allows you to ask for donations in an easy way, donors to give through a single form, and receipts to be issued automatically. This cuts down time, effort and costs on all ends.
View a current example of an event or contact jon.collins@parkinson.ca to get some help on setting up your own event.
