Looks Who's Making a Difference!
|
Each Friday, I usually bring you a story from a member who is making a difference by hosting an individual fundraising event. They do this by not only raising funds, but spreading the word about the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society and our mission. This week I thought it best to highlight some of the amazing fundraisers that are currently happening. The events below are some great ways that you can get involved. We hope that you will not only
participate
, but spread the word to family and friends about our wonderful organization and how we can all help "make chromosome 18 abnormalities the first treatable chromosome condition!"
Phantom Tea
As 2015 winds down, we are just beginning to gear up for our biggest annual fundraiser, Phantom Tea! Our 20th annual Phantom Tea campaign will officially kick off on December 1st, the National Day of Giving.
If you have not already done so, please visit the
Phantom Tea page of our website
and find out how you can get involved. There are many ways to make that happen. You may
print invitations
to mail to friends and family,
create your own personalized Phantom Tea
fundraising page, or donate to your syndrome group. We need your help to make this the most successful Phantom Tea ever!!
Holiday Ornaments
The Stoddard Family is getting in the holiday spirit by hosting an individual fundraiser this holiday season. These Chromosome 18 holiday ornaments make great gifts or additions to your personal ornament collection. The ornaments cost $15 and you may order as many as you would like for one low shipping rate of $4.99, within the U.S.
You'll have to order soon though. The campaign closes on Dec 1st to ensure delivery by Dec 17th. Please remember that a minimum order of 100 is needed for these to print and ship so
visit this link to order yours today!
Fantasy Gives
 Please don't forget to visit
http://fantasygives.com
and draft your fantasy team to support the Registry. Contests are fun and simple for both experienced and novice players. The contests follow the popular daily fantasy sports format (ex. FanDuel© and Draft Kings©) but the groups are much smaller so the odds of winning are much higher. There are no long drafts and it takes less than 5 minutes to set your lineup. Fantasy Gives provides thousands of dollars in weekly prizes to keep participants engaged...the end result, more money for The Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society and more opportunities for you to win! Draft your team today!!

We are ALWAYS looking to add more races! If you, or someone you know, may be interested in chairing a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon event in your area, please email our Director of Individual Fundraising, Kelly Collins, at [email protected]. You DO NOT need to be a runner or even run in the event yourself. All you need is a passion to spread the mission of the Registry by finding friends, family, or co-workers to participate in a Rock 'n' Roll events. Many cities include shorter races such as a 5k, 8k, or 10k, so there is something for everyone! Please visit this link to see if there is a race coming to a city near you!
