Every dollar doubled
$40,000 towards 40 more years of empowering families to build brighter futures.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, every gift to ARFC’s 40th Anniversary - donations, sponsorships, and tickets - will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $40,000.
Our goal is to raise $40,000 from our community by October 17 in order to unlock the full match; $80,000 to carry ARFC’s work forward for the families who count on us.
The matching fund honors ARFC’s founders, the Zealand family, and remembers the late co-founder Terrence Zealand and his daughter the late Monica Zealand Hill, cherished board member and volunteer.
