Carmichael Outreach Depends on Fundraisers to Serve Our Community
Carmichael Outreach is very thankful for our amazing fundraising partners. In the 2019 fiscal year, our fundraising events and partnerships throughout the year accounted for 20% of our total revenues. These funds are critical in enabling us to provide our programs to the community.

This program helped to provide 200 healthy and nutritious lunches for Carmichael Outreach Inc. every Wednesday throughout the summer of 2020, as well as $30,000 of donations raise by amazing community donations and live music events.

FIVE DAYS FOR THE HOMELESS
This annual fundraiser is held each year at the University of Regina in conjunction with the Business Student’s Society at the Paul J. Hill School of Business. 5 participants sleep outside for 5 nights, giving up many luxuries such as cell phones, clean clothing, showers, and regular access to meals, in an effort to open the conversation about the causes of homelessness while raising funds for the day-to-day operations at Carmichael Outreach.
MERRILL BRINTON TOURNAMENT OF HOPE
The Merrill Brinton Tournament of Hope is dear to our hearts, and is a very important fundraiser for Carmichael Outreach. The annual golf tournament has become a fun summertime tradition for corporate supporters of Carmichael, and we are very thankful to MNP, Miller Thomson, and all of our sponsors and golfers who have continued to show support for this tournament.
CHRISTMAS FOR COMMUNITY
This annual holiday fundraiser occurred at the Pile O’ Bones tap room in 2019. The event featured a delicious dinner by Malinche, a brewery tour, and live musical performances by Erik Mehlsen, Nick Faye, and Nate Hilts.
This event was a huge success, raising a total of over $10,000 to support Carmichael Outreach and the fight to end poverty and homelessness in our community!
IMAGINE INITIATIVE
As the needs of our community grow and change, Carmichael Outreach also needs to grow and change too! That’s why we are expanding our capacity to serve the community.
We moved into our new building at 1510 12th Avenue in Regina in December 2019. The Imagine Initiative was the driving force for us raise the money needed to get into our forever home, and it will continue to drive our efforts to finish the building and pay for future costs.
