FUNDRAISING
HomeWaters has a rich heritage of involvement with charitable organizations. Since launching our fundraising programs in 2001, HomeWaters has helped over 50 organizations raise more than $700,000.
The combination of our central location, always lauded hospitality, and memory-making outdoor experiences provide a highly desirable environment for charity events. Our comprehensive fundraising program is designed to help all types and sizes of non-profit organizations raise money. Not only is this program unique in its offerings, but it could help your organization raise a large amount of money with one event…..in some cases approaching or exceeding $100,000.
The Program Provides Organizations Two Ways to Benefit:
GIFT CERTIFICATE
PACKAGES
Organizations utilizing our gift certificate packages typically raise $100 to more than $1,000 for their causes. These packages can be used for auction items or as a prize of a small raffle at galas and annual fundraising dinners and events. Non-profit organizations can choose the package that best fits their needs. Because of the deep discount offered, non-profit organizations may choose one package annually.
TOURNAMENTS AND EVENTS
Each year we set aside a limited number of dates for organizations to have exclusive use of the Club’s lodging, facilities, streams and staff for the purpose of fundraising events and tournaments. These tournaments can focus on fishing, sporting clays or another activity within the Club’s capacity to facilitate. Individual tournaments may be structured differently to best fit the organizations' needs.
HomeWaters will work with your staff to determine number of participants, activity or activities that make up your tournament, meals, lodging (if more than one day), and structure of competition and sponsor levels. A successful, well-planned tournament can raise more than $100,000 for your organization.

“Since 2011, Casting for Recovery Western PA has been hosting our annual weekend fly-fishing retreats for women with breast cancer at the beautiful HomeWaters Club. We absolutely love inviting our participants to such a special spot in Pennsylvania to give them a tranquil respite from the everyday challenges they face while dealing with all that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis. The HomeWaters membership has been such wonderful supporters of our program and we thank them for opening up this beautiful campus to just us for the weekend. The HomeWaters staff go above and beyond to take such great care of us. They treat us like queens! Everyone helps us to create such a magical weekend for our participants. Thank you so much for supporting Casting for Recovery and the women we serve!"
