After 15 wonderful years of hosting our Dart for Art annual fundraiser we are taking an event pause in 2027. Dart for Art has been an amazing success over the years, and we are taking time to celebrate all that has been accomplished, refresh our team and reinvigorate the event.

Since its beginning, Dart for Art has raised an INCREDIBLE $2.8 million and funded 282 full treatment grants for children and young adults battling Lyme disease.

We are deeply grateful to the artists, attendees, sponsors, patrons, and supporters who have made this event so meaningful over the years. Your generosity and belief in our mission have helped bring hope and healing to so many young people and their families.

As the event takes a pause, our mission does not. Together, we can keep lighting the way for the next child in need. 💚

Our LymeLight Grant Recipient Gianna is proudly showing off the artwork she created at our summer Grant Recipient Reception. 💚

“Gianna was so happy to be included in the reception, and she was especially proud of herself for having the courage to say 'hi’ during the gathering. Afterward, she couldn’t wait for me to take a picture of her coloring page so we could send it to you! Thank you again for your generosity, kindness, and for making our family feel so welcome. We are truly grateful!”
— Kristi, mother of LymeLight Grant Recipient Gianna

Her beautiful smile reflects the joy of getting back to simply being a kid again, thanks to the amazing support of our incredible donors.

LymeLight Grant Recipient sisters Vada and Sloane give us HOPE through their positivity, friendship, and gratitude. 💚🌈✨

“Since Lyme disease affects every person differently, including the way they heal, it was so hard to figure out what the best treatments would be. I can confidently say we tried sooooo many things to help our daughters get better that would not have been possible without the grant funding. Nearly everything that we were interested in trying was costly and wasn’t covered by insurance.

I am so thankful to LymeLight for the grants that made healing possible for our kiddos. I can say they are both now functioning normally and able to just be kids. We still have some hurdles to cross, but I have HOPE because of LymeLight.”

– Kelleen, mother of LymeLight Grant Recipients Vada and Sloane

LymeLight Foundation is honored to stand with the Center for Lyme Action, Bay Area Lyme Foundation, Project Lyme, Alpha-gal Alliance Action Fund, Global Lyme Alliance, and The LivLyme Foundation in applauding the Executive Order to accelerate action against tickborne diseases. Together, we recognize the importance of continued collaboration, innovation, and investment to turn promising research into meaningful solutions for patients and families.

“For families facing Lyme disease, innovation cannot come soon enough,” said Phyllis Bedford, Co-Founder and Executive Director of LymeLight Foundation. “We see every day how devastating this disease can be for children and young adults and how urgently families need better options. We are encouraged by this Executive Order’s focus on accelerating research, innovation, prevention, and solutions for tick-borne diseases. Building on the Lyme Disease Moonshot and LymeX efforts can help turn promising ideas into meaningful advances for patients and families who have been waiting far too long.”

A very exciting update from our LymeLight Grant Recipient, Luca and his twin, Hudson! 🎾

Despite the many ups and downs grant recipient Luca has faced throughout his Lyme disease journey, his perseverance and stamina continue to amaze us! This summer, Luca took first place, and his twin brother, Hudson, took second place at the Green Dot 10U Masters tournament, where the top eight tennis players compete at the end of the season! 🏆 Congratulations, boys!

“Lyme has taken so much from them and our family, but somehow, Luca continues to surprise us. We are always so grateful for this foundation and all it has afforded us. Four weeks before the tournament, Luca was at the hospital three days a week for two weeks getting plasmapheresis with a Permacath surgically implanted for the procedure. Thanks to this grant, Luca is getting better, and while the journey is still ongoing, we are most grateful for the ability to receive treatments that most people don’t have access to or can’t afford.”

— Brittani, mother of LymeLight grant recipient Luca and his twin brother, Hudson

It’s been one week since an incredible night of music, community, and Lyme awareness in Central Park! 💚🎶

LymeLight team member Katie Tessier joined the thousands of people who came together to enjoy the music while also learning more about Lyme and tick-borne diseases, tick prevention, and how to stay safe outdoors.

We were proud to support Music for Action at SummerStage NYC, featuring Young the Giant and St. Lucia and to collaborate with other Lyme organizations, advocates, patients, and supporters to help spread awareness and reach people who may not otherwise be familiar with Lyme disease.

A huge thank you to , , , and everyone who helped make this special night possible.

In a powerful new commentary for the Times Union, investigative journalist and author Mary Beth Pfeiffer highlights how inadequate testing, limited treatment options, and severe underfunding continue to obscure the true impact of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

“The future of children playing in the outdoors, and leading lives free of chronic tick-induced illness, depends on it.”

It is time for greater awareness, stronger research, accurate diagnostics, and the investment patients deserve.
