Friends' Night In is a community-powered fundraiser where you gather your favorite people and raise money for a good cause. Host a dinner party, game night, trivia tournament, or something completely your own. Every dollar raised helps support victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community.
ways to get involved
HOST A PARTY!
Throughout February, friends of CADA are invited to host their own Friends' Night In fundraiser. Every gathering helps raise critical funds for survivors while proving that connection is stronger than isolation. Together, we're building a community where no one has to face abuse alone.
IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED
Book Lovers Book Fair
Everyone brings gently used books, puzzles, or games to “sell”
The Great Bestie Bake-Off
Everyone brings a signature dessert and votes for their favorite with money - the sweet treat with the most “votes” wins!
Bestie Movie Madness
Host a themed movie day and schedule three different movie showings. Guests can buy a ticket, popcorn, and candy.
Wine and Charcuterie Night
Guests can contribute a bottle or board and make a suggested donation to attend. Have a small silent auction at the dining room table.
