Rock for Rare

Each year, our Rock for Rare music festival features a dozen bands from around the US, food vendors, community organizations, and public education tents where attendees can get out of the sun, grab a cold drink, and learn from our community members about life with our condition.

To make Rock for Rare a continuing success, we need help in all of the areas above! Consider volunteering to support our community, enjoy time in the outdoors with live music, and raise funds for research!

Annual Research Gala & Casino Night!

Our biggest fundraiser of the year cannot be possible without your support! The Annual Research Gala and Casino Night is an opportunity we take to thank our supporters, recognize the researchers who have been supported by our community’s generosity, and have fun with family, friends, and supporters in one unforgettable evening.

If you’ve ever attended, you know that we always need help taking tickets, working the coat room, serving drinks, and helping direct parking traffic. We’re also looking for anyone with experience as a dealer in a blackjack or Texas Hold’em game, bingo callers, and volunteers to run the silent auction.

You Are the Difference Maker

Nothing we do is possible without the support of people like you! We depend upon the generosity of our supporters. Whether you donate your money or your time, you play an essential role in the success of our advocacy. Volunteer to help make one of our events a success! We always need help with social media and blog articles. If none of that strikes a chord, please consider hosting your own fundraiser!
