Events for Hope

Organize an event to help raise awareness and funds.

NTSAD is here to help guide you through the steps and offer you the tools to pull it off!

Looking for an idea?

• Hold a backyard BBQ for friends, neighbors and colleagues.
• Have a wine and cheese party and share your story.
• Host an awareness event at a local fair/school/synagogue.
• Host a tournament at your local school, roller-skating rink or bowling alley.
• Organize a community walk at a local park.
• Go formal. Organize a dinner/dance with a silent auction.

Any idea, big or small, helps and has an impact on the work NTSAD does every day.
