CalDuring the year, fundraisers are conducted to support service projects, fund scholarships, community grants and international projects. A total of $12,303 was available through fundraising efforts in 2018-2019 which will be distributed in 2020 to support such activities. These activities are only made possible through the support and participation in Zonta Cheektowaga-Lancaster Foundation fundraisers. Fundraisers may vary on a yearly basis. However, the following are examples of typical fundraisers which are held.

Three-digit, numbered tickets are based upon the daily local lottery for February.  Tickets are valid for the entire month and can be purchased November – January from any member or at a fundraising event.  Tickets make great stocking stuffers, secret Santa gifts or a special addition to your holiday greetings.

The lunch also features a guest speaker who presents a current topic which impacts women. Additionally, there is an opportunity to participate in basket raffles, gift card draws or wine pulls. Donations have been secured through the generosity of local businesses. The event is complete with a delicious brunch.
