Our services are free. We never turn away anyone in need so we rely on the CAS donor family to provide new equipment such as wheelchairs or help us purchase necessary items.
Read how individuals, businesses, service clubs and foundations have raised funds then decide how you can get involved.
Families and Friends
Each year, Ernie and Judy Boehr prepare candles and paper bags filled with sand to sell in their neighborhood for $1.50 each. More than 1,200 homes participate in the annual luminaria drive and the money is used to support select community non-profit organizations, including CAS.
Do you have a creative idea for raising money? Let us know.
Make CAS a recipient of your regular giving portfolio through a regular donation, gift of stock or a bequest from your estate.

Local Businesses
and
Service Clubs
The Sierra Madre Rotary, along with a sponsored high school service club, held a wheelchair drive that resulted in a donation of 20 wheelchairs and enough funds to purchase another 10 chairs.
Donating to CAS through cash gifts or donations of medical equipment helps others maintain a higher quality of life with dignity.
Churches
If you worship in a local congregation then please refer those in need to CAS.
On occasion, fellowships will also raise funds.
An example is Trinity Presbyterian Church in Pasadena who recently donated $200 to CAS after a Sunday love offering.
Call us if you'd like to get your fellowship group involved.
