About Us

The Big Raise, Inc. (A Florida 501c3) was founded in 2023 to raise funds for charitable organizations through unique and amazing fundraising events and programs. We don’t just look to hand over checks but work to innovate better events; create new methods to fundraise; and partner with great organizations. The Big Raise, Inc. facilitates Partner Events; Focus Area Events; and other programs throughout the year and in several states.

Partner Events

Partner Events are for a specific organization or charity and include the multi-day “Hearts for St. Jude Gala and Golf Tournament” which takes place in Reunion, Florida annually in February for the benefit of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Other partner events have included: “Classic Hollywood Gala” and the “Masquerade Ball” for Hesed House in Aurora, Illinois.

Focus Area Events

Focus Area Events are for a specific problem like cancer, homelessness, or hunger and can include several recipient charities. They include our annual “Big Raise Road Rally” and the “Ball of Lights.” Our Road Rally “focuses” on facilitating a unique social and travel event providing participants the technology and platform to create their own fundraiser.  Empowering each team to raise money for a cause meaningful to them. The Big Raise gives participants the power to make a meaningful impact. 

The “Ball of Lights” is a one-of-a-kind event that “focuses” on raising funds to end homelessness and hunger. This event includes entertainment, tastings and an evening ball and dress event atmosphere that is patterned after a mysterious circus and a captivating story of ending hunger and homelessness.

100% of the proceeds from our events go to the recipient charities after event expenses. We facilitate the giving, auctions, and events, but do NOT take from the proceeds. The “Big Raise Inc.” is a 501c3 not-for-profit that is funded by contributions to our operating fund from the Anderson and other families that believe in great events and solutions; even greater needs and great actions.

The Big Raise, Inc. is deeply committed to supporting vulnerable populations. These include kids fighting cancer; people who are homeless; veterans, children, and single moms with kids. These groups face unique challenges and require specialized assistance, and The Big Raise Inc. strives to make a meaningful impact on their lives through our fundraising efforts. We are also deeply committed to helping other charities with their business operations or other areas of need.
