Event Details
Each year from Valentine’s Day to Rare Disease Day, Dup15q Alliance raises awareness of dup15q syndrome in communities around the world. In conjunction, we hold our $15,000 in 15 Days for Dup15q fundraiser. Money is raised by families in a variety of ways – email campaigns, bake sales, wear jeans to work days, sales of BELIEVE bracelets and t-shirts to name a few. It is limited only by your imagination!

This year we have added incentive to reach our goal as a dup15q family has generously agreed to match funds donated during these 15 days up to $15,000!

Help us to celebrate Rare Disease Day in your school, workplace or community group by organizing an event. Let us know about it at [email protected] and we’ll put it on our website! Sample flyers, brochures and more information are available at www.dup15q.org/rarediseaseday.html.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of those with dup15q syndrome!
