Hi there! Thank you for your interest in fundraising for FARA. We’re excited to share your personal fundraising toolkit, designed to help you make a meaningful impact in the fight against FA! This fundraising hub highlights a variety of ways you can get involved. Explore the options below and choose the approach that’s the best fit for you.
We understand that fundraising isn’t easy and asking for support might be outside of your comfort zone, but we’ve learned that it’s all about mindset. People do want to help, and by sharing your story and your purpose, you give them the opportunity to do so. Once you decide which fundraising approach works best for you, make a simple plan for your next steps.
Grassroots events are community‑driven fundraisers that offer countless ways for people to support FARA’s mission by hosting or participating in local events.
Team FARA is a global community of people who raise awareness and fundraise for FA by participating in events, celebrating milestones, and getting involved in meaningful ways.
Letter‑writing campaigns allow people to easily educate family and friends about FA, share their personal experiences, and raise support for research.
Through bike rides of varying distances, rideATAXIA empowers individuals with FA, their families, and supporters to reach their goals and raise crucial funds for research.
rideATAXIA Hometown offers teammates the opportunity to ride individually or host local events for their community.
Gather your community by hosting a give back night at a local restaurant/store where a portion of the proceeds supports FA research!
There are also many peer-to-peer fundraising options that you can choose from — explore them here!
The FARA Staff is experienced in event planning and fundraising.
