Impact
More than dollars raised, it's about bringing our community into the light.
22q11.2 deletion syndrome is the second most common genetic condition behind Down Syndrome, yet so few people have even heard of it. Your personal fundraiser bridges that gap in awareness while ensuring our nonprofit can provide vital services to our community!
Educate Friends & Family
Every share introduces your personal circle to the real faces, courage, and unique journey of 22q warriors, turning passive followers into active advocates.
Fund Free Family Services
100% of proceeds fuel classroom IEP advocacy, specialized career coaching for young adults, benefits counseling, retreats, scholarships, and more!
Remind Families They Aren't Alone
A diagnosis can feel isolating. Seeing your network rally with gifts and messages of encouragement proves that our warriors have an entire village behind them.

Option 1:
November is 22q Awareness Month! ????
Many of you know that our family walks this road with [Loved One's Name], who has 22q11.2 [deletion/duplication] syndrome. While it impacts so much of daily life, therapies, and medical appointments, it also shows us what true bravery looks like every single day.
I started this Facebook fundraiser for the 22q Family Foundation because they provide free classroom IEP advocacy, young adult career coaching, and family retreats for warriors like [Loved One's Name].
Whether you can donate $5, $22, or simply share this post to help someone learn about 22q today, our family is endlessly grateful for your love and community!
Option 2:
Did you know that 1 in 2,000 children are born with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome? Despite this, it is rarely talked about.
For 22q Awareness Month, I am raising support for the 22q Family Foundation! Every single dollar raised helps fund vital programs like educational school advocacy, teen meetups, and parent support networks completely free of charge.
My goal is $[Your Goal] by December 31st! Every dollar directly helps families navigating this journey feel seen and supported. Thank you for standing with our warriors!
