Fundraising
Hosting fundraisers is a great way to raise awareness in your community and simultaneously contribute to PH awareness organizations.
My family has participated in walks like PHA’s O2 Breathe Walk, and my parents solicited sponsors to hike Mount Whitney, knowing that the altitude sickness they experienced after hiking to over 14,000 feet was similar to how I felt every day with PH. One of our favorite ways to raise funds for PH awareness and research was hosting dinner parties at our home. We charged our friends admission to the party, offering food, drinks, live music, and once, a live auction.
Our fundraisers were an opportunity to educate friends about the disease and ultimately built a network of support that was crucial for my success with my heart-lung transplant.
Have you participated in a PH fundraiser or organized one of your own? Please share your experiences and ideas for future fundraisers or awareness campaigns!
