Special Events

Organize a Special Event

Are you and your family, friends or support group thinking about holding an event to raise awareness and funds for PH? We provide the resources and support you need to get started. We even have a detailed toolkit for our signature events, Fun Walks and Cookin' for a Cure House Parties, that lead you step-by-step through the planning process and includes lots of great resources. As of 2007, we also have a new online tool which makes it even easier to fundraise and garner support through Online Fundraising Pages.

Want to learn more or ready to get started? Contact PHA's Special Events Coordinator Deirdre Farrell at event@PHAssociation.org or 301-565-3004 x125.
