Third-Party Events
While events can be fun, they can also be difficult to plan and are consistently one of the least effective fundraising strategies. Less than 1% of all funds raised in 2024 came from third-party events. LLS staff CANNOT assist in the planning of any independent events. Please refer to the CACT agreement for a full list of rules and regulations about third-party events.
