Fundraisers

The Augusta Training Shop is a homegrown, locally-funded and operated charitable organization with no connections to any national organization. One hundred percent of our funding comes from the community from fees for services provided to our customers, grants, private donations, unrestricted donations, ministry outreach from local churches, fundraisers, aluminum can recycling, United Way contributions, corporate sponsorships and gifts of services, materials, etc. But it seems that our needs always increase at a rate faster than our income.

With the economic issues so many of us have been facing for the past few years we have seen a decrease in corporate funding and donations. To make up the shortfall, we have incorporated fundraisers into our budgeting plans and these events are proving to be wildly successful, both from a revenue standpoint and from an enjoyment standpoint for those involved. You might also call them "funraisers."

With the help of our staff and volunteers, we have come up with several events that are fun, creative and exceptional. Designed to reach a broad audience, these events are diverse and unique. From our signature Derby Day event in the spring to our many innovative fundraisers we offer something for everyone.

Our goal is to continue to allow disabled adults residing in our community to remain permanently employed. Check out our fundraisers in this section and learn more about these cool opportunities to support the Augusta Training Shop. Make plans now to join us for a great cause!
