We’re looking for creative, outgoing, and fierce fundraisers
This summer, we’re turning community spirit into friendly competition — and we want YOU to join us!
Become a YWCA Community Champion and go head-to-head with other local leaders, friends, and advocates to see who can raise the most funds for YWCA Clark County between June 1 and July 31.
What Is the Community Champions Challenge?
This is a peer-to-peer fundraising challenge — where passionate supporters like you rally your own networks to create change. You bring the creativity and drive; we’ll provide the tools, platform, and support so your fundraising campaign can soar.
Last year’s two top Champions raised over $6,000 each
No matter how much you raise, your effort will help sustain life-changing programs for survivors and families across Clark County.
How peer-to-peer fundraising challenges work
When you sign up to become a 2026 YWCA Community Champion you’ll receive access to our exclusive Participant Toolkit, an optional photo and video session on May 6 or 7, and ongoing staff support to make your campaign a success.

1. Choose Your Fundraiser
Your fundraiser can reflect your personality or passion — big or small, fun or deeply meaningful. Ideas include hosting a mini-event or celebration. You can tie donations to a challenge or raffle. Some dedicate their birthdays or special days to fundraising.
The most successful fundraisers are personal and authentic — so bring your best idea and make it yours!

2. Set Up Your Fundraising Page
Once you sign up, we’ll guide you through creating your personal Givebutter fundraising page, where supporters can easily donate and track your progress.

3. Tell Your Story
Use your voice to make an impact — share your campaign through social media, email, text, or events. We’ll provide graphics, templates, and guidance every step of the way.
