Dear Friends, We know you've probably heard of the traditional ways to give back, such as creating a fundraiser or making a donation directly online. But there are many creative ways to give that you may not have heard of. If hosting an event or posting on Facebook isn't your thing, we've got a lot of other opportunities for you! Instead of an outright cash donation, consider giving through stocks, a living will, cryptocurrency, or your IRA. With giving season almost upon us, the ways you can give back are endless! Learn more about different ways you can make a difference here. Thank you, Dravet Syndrome Foundation |

DSF Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month |
|
Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 - Oct. 15 and this year's theme is Prosperity, Power & Progress. We want to take this time to honor and celebrate our Hispanic community, as well as recognize the many Hispanic individuals impacted by Dravet syndrome. In preparation for this month, we've connected with this community to hear their stories, celebrate their families and recognize the hardships they face. We encourage you to follow along with us on our social media channels as we share quotes from our Hispanic community throughout the month. If you'd like to share your journey, we encourage you to submit your photos and story here or reach out to our DEI Coordinator, Tatiana Lopez, at Tatiana@dravetfoundation.org. |
