Do what you love.
Do it for EHE.
You don't need a big budget, a professional events team, or even a plan - yet. You just need something you care about and the desire to make it matter. Fund EHE Your Way lets you turn your community activities, hobbies, traditions, or ideas into a fundraiser to benefit our mission. You choose how you want to make a difference for people affected by EHE.
Community Fundraising Matters
In this ultra-rare cancer, the community of people affected by the disease is the driving force behind every breakthrough. Through community fundraisers, the EHE Foundation is able to fund groundbreaking research, expert-led education, and global advocacy programs. Whether your event raises $100 or $10,000, every dollar accelerates progress and builds a stronger, bigger community to support people with EHE.
Do What You Love
The best fundraisers don't come from a template. They come from something real — a hobby, a tradition, a talent, a gathering you’ve always wanted to have or were going to host anyway. The format is entirely up to you.
Get moving. Organize a run or walk, host a golf tournament, teach a yoga or fitness class, plan a group bike ride, or challenge friends to a sports day.
Gather your people. Throw a trivia night, host a dinner party, plan a game night, put together a live or silent auction, or organize a community potluck.
Sell something for good. Run a bake sale, set up a garage sale, host a craft fair booth, or put together a lemonade stand.
Rally your workplace or school. Plan a dress-down day, place collection jars in break rooms and cafeterias, organize an employee matching drive, or set up an awareness display.
Go online. Launch a Facebook birthday fundraiser, start a social media challenge, or host a virtual event or livestream.
The possibilities are endless, and the EHE Foundation is here to help you bring your vision to life.
Fund EHE Your Way in Action
Big Steve Day - Golf Tournament
Every year, a dedicated group of family and friends organizes a golf tournament that has become one of the Foundation's most successful community-led events. Held in memory of Steve Walsh, Jr., Big Steve Day has grown into an annual tradition, bringing together friends, golfers, local businesses, and community members for a day of fun, great food, and music. Collectively, the Steve Walsh, Jr. Foundation for EHE Research & Awareness has donated more than $45,000 to the EHE Foundation to fund our mission. What an impact!
Honoring Their Brother
Rainey and Lucy Sue were devastated when their brother, PFC Timothy Webb, passed away from EHE. To honor their brother's memory, each chose the EHE Foundation as the beneficiary of their service work through the Rainbow Girls Organization. Bake sales, Coney fundraisers, community events – whatever they dream up, every dollar is donated to the EHE Foundation. Their consistency proves you don't need a large-scale event to make a lasting impact.
Facebook Birthday Fundraisers
Some of the most reliable fundraising for EHE happens on Facebook, where supporters ask friends and family to donate in honor of their birthday. Facebook makes it easy. No planning, no overhead, just a simple ask that puts EHE in front of an entirely new audience every time.
