About CureSHANK's First
RAISING FOR RESEARCH
Annual FUN-raiser Campaign
We need YOUR help to raise funds for three crucial CureSHANK research projects in 2023*:
​
(1) EPILEPSY
(2) Developmental REGRESSION
(3) Measuring SLEEP Dysfunction
​
To make it fun, we will have a friendly competition the week of May 1-5 to see which project can earn the most donations!
​
You will RAISE funds for the project of your choice by RAISING up your loved ones with PMS: sharing something positive--a silver lining or a funny moment--and explaining via social media and email why this particular project is important for them.
​
These projects will help fulfill CureSHANK's mission to bridge the gap between basic SHANK3 science and successful clinical trials!
​
Please note: the URL for the fundraiser is not yet live but will be soon and is located at
​
* You can read more about these projects in our sample email language.
​
​
Week of May 1 - 5:
Send out emails and texts to friends and family!
Post your customized social media posts on all platforms you use!
Be sure to tag CureSHANK and use a couple of hashtags (but not too many--sometimes that hurts the algorithm!)
