Danny Did love to get into the mix of things. We’d welcome and enjoy your involvement with the Danny Did Foundation. There are many ways that you can help:
- Assist Danny Did’s outreach to doctors. The Danny Did Foundation will send you a package that includes Seizure Safety/SUDEP Info brochures, Danny Did Foundation pamphlets, and a letter of introduction to the DDF. You provide this package to your doctors and then provide the DDF with contact information for the doctors. We then follow up with the doctors to establish a relationship that results in advancement of SUDEP awareness.
- Volunteer at a DDF event. View our list of events.
- Organize and host your own fund raising event. A cocktail party at your home for friends? Or maybe a summer barbeque, or a tupperware or candle party. Chicago area friends, how about hosting a BYOB get together at Tipsy Paint in Glenview? Email Mary Duffy at mduffy@dannydid.org with your idea!
- Employee Matching Plan: Many companies will match an employee’s charity contribution, sometimes doubling or even tripling your tax-deductible donation to the Danny Did Foundation. Contact your Human Resources department for more information.
- Memorials and Tributes: Honor someone special with a tribute, remember a lost loved one with a memorial, or celebrate a birthday, graduation, or wedding by contributing to the Danny Did Foundation.
- A Gift by Will/Mention in Obituary. Talk with your estate planning attorney about how Danny Did Foundation can be included.
- Corporate Partnerships/Sponsorships: Partner with the Danny Did Foundation to meet the philanthropic, marketing, sponsorship and/or employee interests of your company. Learn about our Danny Did Partnership Program.
- Medical Professionals: Let’s meet to discuss placement of Danny Did Foundation printed materials in your hospital, emergency room, or doctor’s office.
- Athletes: Running a race or involved in a competition? How about collecting donations for the Danny Did Foundation! We offer your own personal sponsorship page for fund raising when you become a part of Team Danny Did.
- Auction items: Do you have tickets, artwork, memorabilia, professional services or a gift certificate to donate? Auction items are always accepted and appreciated. Please contact Tom Stanton at tfstanton@dannydid.org.
- Lead a “fan raising” campaign for our Danny Did Facebook page. If you can get groups of people from your school, workplace or town to ‘Like’ our Facebook page, you’re helping our awareness in a big way.
- Plan a Danny Did kickball tournament! Inside a gym or outside in a park. Big or small. Include bells and whistles or just get a group together and play. A fun way to spend a day and raise some money for our cause.
Be in touch and let us know that you are ready to help us help others. If you have questions, contact Mary Duffy at mduffy@dannydid.org. And remember: Danny Did, And You Can Too!
