Fundraise

Give families the support they need today and the treatments and cures they’re counting on tomorrow.

Your gift to the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation will help everyone living with this life-altering condition by supporting and connecting families, improving medical care and driving research breakthroughs to speed treatments and cures.

Fundraise

Fundraising is the major lifeline of our organization.  We rely on the generosity of donors, like you, to provide the funds necessary to achieve our mission to make today better and the future brighter for everyone living with Phelan-McDermid syndrome. The Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation has a proven record of utilizing the generous gifts we receive in the most cost-effective ways possible.

We are forever grateful for your support!

Create Your Own Fundraiser

The possibilities for fundraising are endless! So many people in our community want to help but do not know where to start. You can build a fundraiser, large or small around your interests and skill set. Some of our supporters follow a template while others start with whatever is close to their heart and go from there. Do you like to bake, are you an artist, would you like to hold a community event? Our supporters have been overwhelmed with the support they receive and the feeling of accomplishment, knowing that they can do something to improve lives!

We are here to help you start your own fundraiser!

Memorials

Many of our families have chosen to donate to the PMSF in memory of loved ones. It’s a beautiful way to honor those we've loved while remembering those that are impacted by Phelan-McDermid syndrome.

Leave A Legacy

Our endowment allows us to raise funds for long-term growth. Supporters may donate through bequests (wills), life insurance, retirement plan beneficiary designations or trusts.
