You might not have the time to host a big fundraising event. A $1,000 donation might not be in your budget, but you can still impact all of our lives by raising what you can, when you can. Every penny, every dollar counts. Here are a few ideas that each of us can use to contribute. And if 100 of us contributes $5 more each month for the year, that $5 turns into $6,000. Including extended families in this endeavor will increase this exponentially!
If each of us chooses at least one of these methods to give next year, SRF will be able to fund more research & continue our work to get us closer to a cure for our loved ones. We’re in this together, and only with your help will we be able to achieve our goals of improving the lives of all those living with SYNGAP1-related disorders throughout the world!
