Did you know that while watching the pigskin fly, shopping online, enjoying the outdoors or cleaning out the attic, there are fun and easy fundraisers to get involved in? Here we'll feature a few ideas. The list below reminds us just how precious donations are to The Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society.

$10 buys the liquid Nitrogen for 1 tank for 1 week

$25 buys the forms for 1 participant's annual update

$50 buys enrollment (including blood) for a US family

$100 buys enrollment for an international family

$500 buys establishing cell lines for 1 family

$1000 buys 1 person's microarray

$10,000 buys one comprehensive clinical evaluation

$100,000 buys 1 mouse model project

$1 million funds the whole Research Center for a year.

Fantasy Football FUNdraiser

The Registry is partnered with Fantasy Gives to offer fantasy football as a fundraiser. 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...resulting in more money for The Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society!

Each entry is only $10 and 70% of your entry fee is returned back to the Registry as a donation! You can play just one week or the entire season. Please sign up today and most importantly, SPREAD THE WORD, get your friends, family and co-workers involved!

Click here for complete step-by-step instructions provided by Registry member and Fantasy Gives participant, Jon Baker, check out the video below and get your lineup in time for the first game of the season on Thursday, September 8!
