First ever Give Rare Day: $38,805
First ever Give RARE a huge success!
Through the persistence and hard work of our entire Pitt Hopkins community, the families of Pitt Hopkins raised over $38K for the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation through Give Rare Day on March 3rd! The rare disease community came together for 24 hours of generosity. Thousands of people across the world donated to their favorite rare disease nonprofits from 12:00am to 11:59pm, raising over $250K for 75 different rare diseases and a whole lot of awareness! In addition, the rare disease non-profits competed for cash prizes from our sponsors. It was an incredible day and a huge success for our PTHS community!
