Fundraisers are organized events or activities aimed at raising money for a specific cause, organization, or project. They can take many forms, including charity auctions, bake sales, and sponsored runs. Fundraisers often involve volunteers and community participation to maximize contributions and awareness for the cause. The funds raised through these events are typically used to support non-profit organizations, community projects, or individuals in need. Many fundraisers also promote social engagement and community spirit, encouraging people to come together for a common goal. Examples of beneficiaries include schools, hospitals, and animal shelters.
