World Rare Disease Day
February 28, 2025
World Rare Disease Day is observed annually on the last day of February, the rarest day of the year. Helping Hands for GAND encourages our community to take this opportunity to spread awareness of GAND.
In the past, we have held our annual peer-to-peer fundraiser this month. In 2025, we are moving that campaign to September to coincide with GAND Awareness Month. If you would still like to host a fundraiser this month (or any month), we will gladly create a custom fundraising web page for you where donors can give directly to Helping Hands for GAND. Families have done fun runs, cycling challenges, bake sales, and other special events to raise awareness and support of GAND utilizing a fundraising page. Others simply tell their story and share on social media. Whatever type of fundraiser interests you, we're happy to help! Email [email protected] to request your personalized page. Include any details and pictures you'd like us to feature. |
