Fundraising
Soft Bones relies on a variety of funding sources to deliver programs and services to the HPP community, as well as grow our service area and advance research in accordance with our mission. Often, potential donors do not understand the challenges of living with a rare disease such as HPP, and may not know anyone who has been affected, which makes our fundraising efforts even more challenging.
Fundraising Ideas
There are many ways that supporters can help our organization to raise funds through direct donations, hosting small or large fundraisers, both virtual or in-person, or by simply spreading the word without spending anything at all.
