We Want to Make Your Event a Success!

Thank you for raising funds for the NTSAD family support and/or research initiative. There are many ways the NTSAD office can help you with any event you want to plan; from coming up with an idea to a suggested timeline to the goodies we can send you! Last year we launched giving pages for every event that can be customized and shared with your family and friends! Contact Diana at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Looking for an idea?

• Hold a backyard BBQ for friends, neighbors and colleagues.
• Have a wine and cheese party and share your story.
• Host an awareness event at a local fair/school/synagogue.
• Host a tournament at your local school, roller-skating rink or bowling alley.
• Organize a community walk at a local park.
• Go formal. Organize a dinner/dance with a silent auction.

Any idea, big or small, helps and has an impact on the work NTSAD does every day.

Day of Hope - Event Timeline

We have a suggested timeline available that can make the process of planning any kind of event less daunting. It is merely a guideline to help you as you think about ways to observe the Third Annual Day of Hope. Remember - any idea is a great idea, and any day is just as important. There are many events held on different days in different months, and their efforts still count as part of the overall mission to fund research.    pdf Download the PDF here. (1.09 MB)

Media Tips and Samples

Once you've made your plans from setting the date to the when and where, you may want to reach out to your local media. Sharing your story about why the Day of Hope is important can be impactful and raise even more awareness about our small but mighty group of families! We have a document Press Release template for you to download (599 KB)  as well as someone on our Communications Committee who can help get it distributed.
