Making a Donation vs. Fundraising for The EHE Foundation: What’s the Difference?

At The EHE Foundation, we are committed to finding a cure for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE), an ultra-rare and potentially aggressive cancer that affects one in a million people. Every contribution helps us advance groundbreaking research, support patients, and foster collaboration among clinicians and researchers worldwide. There are two impactful ways you can support our mission: through direct donations and by fundraising. Both are vital, but they serve different purposes and offer unique experiences for supporters.

Making a Donation

When you give to The EHE Foundation, you contribute directly to our mission. Whether a one-time gift or a recurring donation, your contribution makes an immediate difference by:

  • Funding essential research: Your funds help drive scientific breakthroughs in understanding and treating EHE.
  • Facilitating education and advocacy: Donations provide critical educational resources for people living with EHE, connecting them with the medical community and each other.
  • Building collaborations to improve outcomes and care: Every donation helps build bridges between researchers, clinicians, patients, and caregivers creating a more united and informed approach to fighting this rare disease.

Fundraising for The EHE Foundation

Fundraising, on the other hand, is about taking a more active role in gathering support from your community. As a fundraiser, you become an advocate for EHE research, rallying friends, family, and colleagues to join you in supporting the cause. A personal fundraising campaign raises essential funds and allows you to:

  • Amplify Your Impact: While a personal donation is powerful, a fundraising campaign can multiply your contribution many times over by engaging your network.
  • Build Awareness: Fundraisers bring EHE into the spotlight, helping more people learn about this rare cancer and how they can make a difference.
  • Create a Community: Inviting others to donate fosters a sense of community and shared purpose to support everyone affected by EHE.

Which is Right for You?

Both donating and fundraising are crucial to advancing the mission of The EHE Foundation, but they offer different pathways for involvement:

  • If you want to make an immediate impact and support ongoing research and patient advocacy, a direct one-time or recurring donation is a powerful way to contribute.
  • If you want to involve your friends, family, or wider network by sharing your personal connection to EHE, fundraising can amplify your impact and bring more voices to our cause.

The Power of Community

At The EHE Foundation, every gift matters. Whether you choose to donate or fundraise, you are playing a critical role in supporting EHE research. 100% of your contribution is directed toward our mission to find treatments and a cure for EHE.

We invite you to explore both options and decide how you can best make a difference. Together, we can change the future for those living with EHE and move closer to finding treatments and a cure.
