Phonathon

Answer the Call

The COTS Phonathon is our oldest fundraiser. Each year, the week after Thanksgiving, staff and volunteers call past COTS supporters and ask them to consider a gift to COTS again this year. The Phonathon is one of our most important fundraisers and is vital to the services COTS provides.

With the support of the community and our amazing sponsors, we were able to reach our 2022 fundraising goal of $250,000. Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered, donated, and contributed to the Phonathan this year – we couldn’t do it without you!
