Fundraising in 3 easy steps
Step 1: Decide to Help
You have already conquered the hardest step - deciding to help! Thank you! It takes a dedicated person to decide to take action, and we are grateful for you ambition and willingness to help cure Visual Snow Syndrome.
Step 2: Create your Fundraiser
We want you to select a fundraiser that inspires and excites you! If you hate physical activity we wouldn't recommend a 5K or walk-a-thon. Start to think what kind of fundraiser suits your skills and interests. Do you envision this being online or an in-person event? Is your personal network global where an online event will reach more of your contacts? Do you like a close community where an in-person event will draw a large crowd and several participants? Ask yourself, what types of events have drawn you in to attend?
Step 3: Involve your friends & family
People are excited to be presented with the opportunity to help others in need. Sometimes they just need to be reached out to, and told how they can help and get involved. Your friends and family will want to help you succeed with your fundraiser. Make sure to explain to them why this cause is so important to you, and then ask them for support. People like specifics, so make sure to give them solid ways they can help you with your fundraiser. This could be buying a ticket to attend, helping you solicit donations from local businesses, providing a service such as video creation to make a promo video for your fundraiser. There are endless ways that your friends and family can help, just make sure to give them guidance.

You can do practically anything to raise money
We plan to partner with you on your fundraising journey. We will start with a video call, where you can share your ideas, and/or request to hear some of our ideas if you are unclear on which direction you want to go. Each and every fundraiser is important to us, as it not only raises funds for research, but it also gives hope to people living with Visual Snow Syndrome that one day things will be better. Your fundraiser is helping make that day come sooner, and that is really something for you to feel proud of.
