Create a Fundraising Page in Honor or Memory of a Child
NYU Langone Health has a comprehensive online platform where you can make a fundraising page in honor or memory of someone and have 100 percent of the proceeds benefit the SUDCRRC. To do so, follow these steps:
- Register at NYU Langone Giving and choose “Sign up as an Individual.”
- Set your fundraising goal and enter any honoree details.
- Select "Join as a New Participant"
- Next, answer all questions. You will be asked: “Select the fund you would like to support.” You must select “Other” to directly support the SUDCRRC. Then, customize and launch your fundraising page.
- Consider including the link to the SUDC Registry and Research Collaborative website so your donors can learn more about how their donation will be used.
- Finally, to ensure funds are 100 percent directed to the SUDCRRC, please email Laura.Gould@NYULangone.org to update your fund support from “Other” to “SUDCRRC.”
