SUPPORT FA RESEARCH IN YOUR COMMUNITY
When FARA was first established in 1998, grassroots fundraising by volunteers across the country was the main source of FARA’s early research funding. Grassroots fundraisers have continued to be a huge force in the effort to cure Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), raising as much as $1.5 million annually. Whether it’s hosting a grassroots event or attending an established one, there are so many ways to participate and raise funds for FARA’s mission.
See our events calendar for a complete list of Grassroots events around the country, as well as FARA hosted events like The Energy Ball and rideATAXIA.
For anyone interested in hosting a fundraiser, FARA has an experienced grassroots fundraising team to mentor and help guide you through the process of running an event or campaign. Complete the form below to connect with the FARA team!
Our Fundraising Manual is meant to provide guidance on ways to get involved in fundraising and how FARA can support your endeavors.
This is not an exhaustive guide, and we hope you will consult with our team and the other fundraising materials available.
