PHAction - Community

Organize a Sporting Event

"I felt like the mother of the bride- I had so much fun! It was doable even for someone like me who has never done anything in their life even close to this. No one here, in fact, had any experience with fundraising, or writing, or any of it. But it was patient driven and everybody on staff came up with ideas."

-Sandra Lombardi, RN and fun-walk organizer

PH friends and family can put together fun sporting events for their community to raise money for PHA and PH research. Sporting events generally take several months or longer to plan and have the potential for raising a significant amount of money for the cause. Special event organizers generally assemble a team or committee of 5-12 friends and supporters to put on these events, although some events have been organized by fewer than 5. Golf tournaments, baseball games, and fun-walks are popular sporting events that our volunteers and members have organized. Others have plans to do bowl-a-thons and horse race-track themed events.
