Fundraising Projects for the AGSD
The AGSD is active in fundraising and encourages its members to participate in local fundraising projects. Funds that have been raised have gone to support research, provided help in obtaining the pumps for nocturnal nasogastric feeding, assist in providing supplies when needed, and granted awards to help defray college expenses for individuals with the disease. The association has fostered publicity about the condition in local newspapers to the public aware of the condition, the need for research, and the need for support by the individuals with GSD.
2019 AGSD Fun Run/Walk
Each year at the end of our conference, we hold a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk. Kids, parents, and even doctors join us for a short walk to show support and promote awareness of GSD. We pre-sell the Fun Run t-shirts for a registration fee [and any additional donations]. You must fill out the Fun/Run registration form to enter and pay a $25 entry fee to receive a T-shirt.
The best way to make this a successful fund raiser is to ask people to sponsor you for this event.
