You don't have to work for Project Lyme to raise money for it. Some of our most impactful fundraisers are organized by patients, families, and friends who want to channel their personal connection to Lyme disease into meaningful action.
Types of Fundraisers
- Personal fundraising pages: Set a goal, share your story, and invite friends and family to donate on your behalf. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or "in honor of" campaigns.
- Athletic events: Run a race, complete a hike, or do a challenge and ask sponsors to donate per mile. Many participants raise $500–$5,000 this way.
- Community events: Host a dinner, auction, or community gathering and raise funds through tickets and donations.
- Workplace giving: Ask your employer's HR department about matching gift programs — many employers match employee donations to qualified nonprofits.
- Tribute fundraisers: Honor someone affected by Lyme disease with a fundraiser in their name or memory.
