Dare to Care

This June, DARE your friends and family to CARE about making a difference for people with myasthenia gravis.

 

Challenge them to help you raise 30 gifts of $30 in 30 days. Each gift supports the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America’s ongoing mission of creating connections, enhancing lives, improving care, and finding better treatments for MG.

 

When you join this community fundraising challenge, you help the MGFA

• Create and share much-needed educational resources.

• Fund cutting-edge research to make life better for those living with MG.

• Raise awareness and advocate on behalf of patients around the world.

• Provide support to patients and caregivers through programs like the MGFA Community Health Fair Program, MG Friends, Support Groups, and Patient Conferences.

 

June is MG Awareness Month, the perfect time to dare your network to support the MG community.

 

Joining is as easy as creating a fundraising page and sharing it with your friends and family. We’re providing resources like email “ask” templates and social media content ideas to help you spread the word. MGFA will help you get your dare off the ground. And there are lots of prizes for fundraisers who meet goals along the way!

 

You can create your own page or join as a team – think your company, civic club, or extended family – any group who wants to work together to compete in the challenge.

 

Create a fundraising page today and together let’s Dare to Care.

And throughout June, you can Dare to Share! Talk to friends and family members about MG or amplify the fundraising pages of friends in the MG Community on social media.

 

Our goal is to raise $100,000 during the Dare to Care Challenge. Let’s do this!

 

If each of your friends donates a dollar a day during the month of June, imagine the impact it could make for the MG Community!
