Bringing Communities Together

Each year families, friends, and colleagues come together for a "Day of Hope" and host an event to raise awareness and critical funds for research. This year's Day of Hope is September 17, 2022, and families are hosting walks, runs, dance parties, pancake breakfasts, trivia nights, golf tournaments, Facebook fundraisers, t-shirt campaigns, and more---all summer long in support of every NTSAD family. 

Funds raised go toward finding effective treatments and NTSAD's Research Initiative.

Since the first Day of Hope held in September 2011, more than $600,000 has been raised.
