Alternatives is run solely on gracious donations by compassionate individuals, businesses and churches.  Throughout the year we have several fundraisers that help keep our doors open.

MONTHLY GIVING: Not a specific fundraiser, but at Alternatives we need more monthly givers.   Would this be something you would consider?  Not only will you be helping save lives monthly, you will receive monthly strategic partner correspondence with updates of our ministry.  It is an opportunity to stay current with the many happenings here at Alternatives.

WALK/5K FUN RUN FOR LIFE:  This is a family event at Kit Carson Park in Escondido.  The individual walkers or runners raise funds that go straight to the ministry by asking people to sponsor their efforts.  Competitors strive to raise the most funds for Alternatives, both individually and teams.  There are costs for this event, and we always ask for sponsorships. If sponsoring all or part of this event is something you are interested in contact Hannah Oliver at holiver@amc-ca.com.

500 HEROES:  This is a men’s event where men get to hear testimonies and speakers, and are encouraged to defend the preborn. Another name for Jesus is Jehovah Gibbor which means mighty God.  In Hebrew the meaning is hero, warrior or champion.  Jesus is the defender of the defenseless and our society’s most vulnerable are the preborn.  We are looking for 500 heroes to be champions and help Alternatives continue to save lives.  A great way to support our ministry is by hosting a table at this event and inviting guests. There is no fee to attend the event or host a table.

FALL FUNDRAISING GALA: An elegant fall evening with a keynote speaker that gives us the ability to share what we do here and raise funds to continue in this life saving work.  We are always in need of underwriters to help offset the costs. Historically this has been our biggest fundraiser of the year.  A great way to support our ministry is by hosting a table at this event and inviting guests. There is no fee to attend the event or host a table.

BABY BOTTLES: Support the lives of babies and mothers by holding a “Baby Bottle” Campaign in your church, school, or business.  Your will be asked to distribute baby bottles to be filled with change, bills or checks during a specific period of time and then returned to AMC.  The filled bottles will be delivered to Alternatives.  If you would be interested in coordinating a campaign with your group or school, please contact Judy Askegreen at jaskegreen@amc-ca.com or call 760 741-9796.

BIRTHDAY/HONORARIUM/MEMORIAL GIFT: Want to send a special birthday or memorial gift to someone? Simply donate to Alternatives and in the memo portion give us the name and address of the people you would like us to send a card to. We will send them a card in honor or memory of their loved one with your name on it. This is an extra special way to bless people and possibly help save a life!
