Independent Events

Do you have an idea for an event not covered by one of our three branded campaigns? Then an Independent Event is the way to go! It’s a great way to raise both awareness and much needed funds any time of the year-all while adding your own personal touch. AFTD supports community members like you by helping them plan and execute successful events from their own imaginations.
