Ready to Lend a Helping Hand?

Raise the Region starts this Wednesday at 6PM and we need your help to make our campaign a success! We’ve included a few easy ways that you can support us.

• Be socially (media) active. Use your social media networks: post on Facebook, tweet about Raise the Region, and share your love for your passion, whether it’s education, health care, animals, or the arts. Ask others to do the same.

• Become a fundraising champion. Everyone loves a champion, including us! We really need fundraising champions to help drive people to our Raise the Region profile on March 8-9. Click here to become a fundraising champion! Once on our page, you can click the red FUNDRAISE button to get set up.

By donating to North Central Sight Services, you are helping us continue to fulfill our mission to create sustainable, person-centered programs and employment that enhance independence for individuals with unique visual capabilities and to foster positive change, awareness, and advocacy while removing barriers. Thank you in advance for your support!

Back again for another year is our Deck the Doors competition and fundraiser!

Each year, NCSS staff donates a contribution in order to decorate and enter their door to win. All donations benefit Lions Club District 14-G as a thank you for supporting NCSS throughout the year. Members of the Lions Club have the honor of judging and selecting the winning decorated door.

Thank you Lions Club District 14-G for selecting two perfect doors as winners! Congratulations to our first-place winner Josh Garcia for his Nightmare before Christmas themed door and to our second-place winner Katie Coffey for her Your Light Makes the Season Bright themed door!

We had more doors entered than ever before. Take a moment to look at the creativity and festive doors that were made this year!
