With an ASPCA Wedding Campaign, you can say “I Do” to giving animals in need a Happily Ever After! Let your family and friends know that in lieu of gifts, you are celebrating your wedding by making a difference in the lives of animals.
To get started, create a personal fundraising page and share it with your wedding guests. Therefore, they know that you would like them to donate to the ASPCA in celebration of your fairy “tail” ending.
The ASPCA will help commemorate your special day by sending an ASPCA picture frame and customized wedding ornament to couples who raise $50 or more. We can’t wait to join in wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness. Thank you for helping further the ASPCA’s life-saving work and for helping build a more humane country for all animals.
I’ve raised $50, how do I get my ASPCA ornament and frame set?
When you reach your $50 goal, we will send you a congratulatory email confirming your gift. All you have to do is respond to our email!
I’m interested in donating in lieu of wedding favors as well. How do I request wedding favor cards?
You can donate directly to the Wedding Favors form to receive ASPCA Wedding Favor cards. If you prefer to give by phone, please call Linda Tiramani at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4516.
Why should I fundraise?
When you fundraise for the ASPCA, not only are you raising crucial funds to support our life-saving programs and initiatives, but you are also spreading awareness of the ASPCA’s mission to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. And there is no fundraising minimum—a gift in any amount is much appreciated and goes a long way in helping our animal friends.
Do I have to register/login first to start creating my fundraising page?
Yes, you must create an account in order to create your fundraising page.
Where do donations made through my online fundraising page go?
Online donations made on your fundraising page go directly to the ASPCA. The donation amount will be shown on your page and 100% of the contributions will be attributed towards your fundraising goal.
Still have questions? Please contact a Team ASPCA staff member at (646) 706-4754 or via email at aspcaambassador@aspca.org.
Action Against Hunger has a charitable wedding option. Instead of gifts, dedicate your registry to asking for donations and help make a lasting positive impact on the world.
Around 690 million people go to bed hungry every night, and nearly half of all child deaths worldwide are linked to malnutrition. Many young children never get a chance to live beyond the age of five – even though we can predict, prevent and treat malnutrition.
As the world’s hunger specialist, we have the knowledge and tools to save the lives of malnourished children. More than 17 million people were helped in 2019 with our lifesaving programs. However, we need more funds to expand our reach and create a future where no child dies of hunger.
Our primary goal is to create a better way to deal with hunger. For more than 40 years, we have led the global movement that aims to end life-threatening hunger for good within our lifetimes. Our teams have been on the front lines, treating and preventing malnutrition across more than 45 countries.
We save the lives of children and their families. We are there for them before and after disaster strikes. Moreover, we enable people to provide for themselves, see their children grow up strong, and for whole communities to prosper. Likewise, we constantly search for more effective solutions, while sharing our knowledge and expertise with the world. To sum it up, we push for long-term change.
A wedding fundraiser is easy to set up. First, sign up here to create your Action Against Hunger fundraising page.
Now you are ready to share it with your guests, friends and family. You can link to your fundraising page from your wedding website if you have one, and include the link in any invites or emails to guests.
You can also connect your fundraising page to Facebook during signup or share it on any social platform – your connections across the world will love to help celebrate your day and save lives!
Once donations start rolling in, you will receive notifications for every gift, allowing you to share your gratitude for their contribution. Together, you will be making a powerful lifesaving impact.
We will never give up. Until the world is free from hunger.
Wish Upon a Wedding grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances.
In 2009 wedding planner Liz Guthrie inspired businesses and wedding industry professionals to get involved. That is to say, she showed them how their donations will help give a deserving couple the wedding of their dreams. These professionals donated their money and services to host a free wedding. This was born out of Liz’s desire to give back to couples in need. As a result, this one wedding started a movement in the industry. After that, Wish Upon a Wedding was formed.
The original wedding industry founders came together with a vision to give couples and their loved ones a day away from serious illness. Due to health-related circumstances outside of their control, the couples we honor have endured far greater challenges than many of us could possibly imagine. Above all, we we aim to celebrate their love for one another. Today, our board members and local committees have grown to include professionals and partners from a wide range of industries across the United States. Therefore, we are able to grant weddings and vow renewals to deserving couples. In the same vein, we are thankful for the generosity of individual donations. Further, we could not do this without the wedding industry professionals, corporate sponsors and partnerships and volunteers, who donate their services.
We are grateful for your generous support. Moreover, we are thankful for the opportunity to take part in these love stories. We are so proud of our organization. Furthermore, we hope that you will follow us on our journey. Here are a few ways to participate in helping a deserving couple. First, your financial contribution will enable Wish Upon A Wedding to continue its mission. Second, our volunteers are essential to fulfilling our company’s mission, and we welcome volunteers at all levels. Third, host a fundraiser. All fundraising events are independently organized to raise awareness and funds for Wish Upon a Wedding. For more information, visit our website by clicking the link on our profile.
