On today's episode, we’re diving into the power of peer-to-peer fundraising through PWS Hope United—PWSA | USA’s platform that lets community members create fundraisers that fit their passion and comfort level.
From simple online fundraisers to large-scale in-person events, PWS Hope United provides opportunities for anyone to raise critical funds that support our family services, advocacy efforts, and groundbreaking research for PWS.
This episode features interviews with members of PWSA | USA's Development Team to talk about how you can get involved in PWS Hope United. We're also joined by board member and PWS mom Kat Lucero, who has had success with online fundraising and is excited to help launch a brand-new in person fundraising campaign for PWS Awareness Month - "United We Brunch." And finally, Michele Hampton, a dedicated PWS mom shares her experience hosting the Dance Silly for Prader-Willi event.
