WeAreHD.org - The Social Support Network for People Living with Huntington's Disease

Ed

The Virginia Beach support group for HD has found a great way to raise money for the research and clinic at UVA, in conjunction with Green Planet Fundraising, an organization dedicated to improving the planet one tree at a time. They are providing us with an environmentally responsible opportunity to raise money for research.

For every $10.00 donation toward sponsoring a tree, HDSA will receive $5.00 toward their research program and clinic. Green Planet Fundraising will then purchase, plant and maintain a tree. Why trees? Because, according to the USDA, one tree, over a fifty year period can provide over $162,000 of environmental benefits! That includes removing carbon and pollutants from the air, generating oxygen, stabilizing soil, and reducing rainwater runoff.

The money raised by this effort will help fund continued research to find a cure for Huntington’s Disease. Donations may be made by (1) cash or check to the person selling the trees. (2) by going directly to: http://www.greenplanetfundraising.com where credit cards are accepted on a secure page. Please indicate your desire for the “Huntington’s Disease Support VB” to benefit from your donation. (3) Checks may also be mailed to:
