WANT TO HELP?
If you are interested in helping to support the work of the CJD Foundation, we need you! There are many ways in which you can support the CJD Foundation. Here are some ideas.

POLITICAL ADVOCACY
If you are interested in political advocacy, please see the index for those pages for an overview of the work that is being done in that area.

MEDICAL EDUCATION
The CJD Foundation is currently rolling out a medical education project which consists of a 45 minute DVD. This DVD has Continuing Medical Education credits attached to it from the University of Buffalo. We are presently scheduling Grand Round Presentations around the country. If you are interested in helping with the CJD Foundation Medical Education Project, please contact the Foundation office. We can then discuss the process, your role and the training involved.

FUNDRAISING
If you have an idea for a fundraiser and want to donate the proceeds to the Foundation, please let us know how we can help you with your idea. If you are willing to organize an event we can help with either a golf outing or a parlor meeting. Information about both is listed below.

GOLF OUTING
The CJD Foundation has successfully run four golf tournaments. We have much to share in the area of organizing a golf outing or tournament. Should you be willing to launch one in your community, our committee will train and assist you. This is a wonderful way to get the CJD name out into the public eye and it is a great income generator. You will have the full support of the Foundation staff.

PARLOR MEETING
How about a parlor meeting in your home? This event is for a smaller group of people (10 -25) who want to learn about CJD and might be willing to help support the Foundation. During the evening you will have the opportunity to share your story. A representative of the CJD Foundation will share information about CJD and the work of the Foundation. Information on how to make a donation can be left for those who are willing to do so. This is a great way of sharing information and raising money.

INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS
Once in a while someone has a special talent that they are willing to use to benefit the Foundation. One such gift might be as a marathon runner or tri-athlete.  We have had friends of the Foundation participate in an event with money they raise coming to the CJD Foundation. If you have such a gift and are willing to do this, please contact the office. We can provide the needed information for tax deduction purposes.
