Fundraising Guide

Published on August 1, 2025 at 6:04 PM

Support the CYFIP2 Network's programs:
We gratefully welcome direct donations, but even more powerful is when families and supporters choose to fundraise. Fundraising not only spreads awareness of CYFIP2-related disorders, it also helps lift the financial burden from families already navigating complex medical and caregiving needs. By rallying your community, you amplify our message, expand our reach, and help build a stronger, more sustainable path forward for research and support.

 

We have created a list of some of the easiest, low cost or free ways families and supporters can support our efforts. This list is meant to serve as a guide with examples and does not include all possibilities! However, we know that fundraising can seem like a scary task, leaving those who wish to support these efforts unsure of where to get started. 

 

Communities of support already exist! Family members, friends, community members and others may already want to help but they may not know how. Sharing this website or even this fundraising guide can help inspire ideas that raise critical funds for research and support programs. 

Our list of the easiest fundraising ideas!

Car Magnets!

Car Magnets with a simple QR code to our donation campaign spark curiosity. Contact us at support@cyfip2network.org if you are interested in receiving these! Let us know how many you would like and we will mail them to you.  

Tee Shirts!

These tee shirts are available for purchase (unlike the car magnets) on our Bonfire Shop website, and are shipped directly to you. The Bonfire Shop website does accept international orders. A portion of all purchases are donated to the CYFIP2 Network. Wear the shirt and raise awareness with ease. Check out the other awareness shirts or create your own right on the Bonfire Shop website (free to create your own).

Visit our Givelively donation page. Above the description of why we are fundraising, is a button that reads "Start a Fundraiser." Follow the prompts to start your own fundraiser. This enables families and supporters to share their own personal stories and can be written in any language.
