Fundraising
CARES Foundation is able to offer support to families affected by CAH, fund medical research for new treatments and a cure for CAH, and educate healthcare professionals because of family fundraisers. We want to thank all of the individuals and donors who have participated in past events some of which are chronicled below.
There are many, many ways you can make a difference – donation, tribute donation, gift of stock, soliciting a corporate sponsorship or planning a local fundraiser in your area. - Consider hosting a bake sale, an awareness party with a $20 cover donation to CARES Foundation, a celebration where your guests gift CARES Foundation a monetary present, or a fundraiser of your own creativity.
To get started, please take a look at our Family Fundraising Guide or contact Ellie Avitan, Development Director, at ellie@caresfoundation.org.
