Everyday Ways to Help
Below are some year-long fundraising ideas that everyone can participate in. They're designed to take minimal effort, but they make a big difference!
Send a Kid to Camp
You can help a child living with chronic & life-threatening illnesses, developmental disabilities and youth at-risk by sponsoring a week of camp for $500. Help us grow this magical experience by donating a week of fun and respite free of charge to their families.
Host a Coin Drive
We are looking for local schools and businesses to host a coin drive, motivating students, staff and supporters to collect spare change and cash donations to send kids to camp.
Fundraising efforts will help provide once-in-a-lifetime camp experiences to children living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities and youth at risk as well as increase public awareness of The Taylor Family Foundation’s mission and the kids we serve.
For every $500 raised, a child goes to camp at no cost to their family!
EVERY COIN COUNTS!
Send a Text
Donating to TTFF is now as simple as sending a text.

Your one-time $10 donation will appear on your phone bill or will be deducted from your pre-paid amount, whichever applies.

Home-grown Help!
Inspired when her physical education and leadership classes at Gale Ranch participated in our Coins for Camper’s campaign (her classes raised enough to send 5 kids to camp) last spring, Katie decided to dedicate her 100-mile Cascade Endurance Race to the kids at Camp Arroyo.
If you'd like to help Katie send kids to camp or you're just curious to see what it takes to train for a 100-mile race, visit her website at www.katiesmiles4smiles.com.
Emma Garman, one of our youngest supporters, sets up a lemonade stand every year and donates all her proceeds back to TTFF!
Ciara recruited her friends and family to host a bake sale at Diablo Country Club where she donated her funds to help send kids to camp!
