National Tartan Day, a celebration established to honor Scottish history and the accomplishments of individuals of Scottish descent worldwide. Resonating deeply with Scots, the day serves as a tribute to Scotland's rich heritage and traditions, notably the iconic Tartan pattern worn through the ages. This year, we invite you to participate in commemorating Tartan Day by lending your support to our fundraising efforts and mission.
Create your own fundraising page and encourage friends, family, and colleagues to join the cause. Here are some ideas to boost your fundraising:
Organize a Kiltwalk: Rally your community for a spirited walk in traditional Scottish attire.
Host a Bake Sale: Whip up Scottish treats and host a sale.
Plan a Whiskey Night: Invite friends for a cozy evening of whiskey tasting.
Host an Outlander Theme Quiz Night: Prepare trivia questions based on the beloved series.
