We want to thank everyone who donated to our Giving Tuesday fundraisers. Your generosity was not unnoticed, and we couldn't support the rare disease community without you. Although we did not meet our goal of $10,000 this year since our big event was unfortunately canceled due to weather, we still wanted to hold our commitments and donate some funds to The VEDS Movement, Adventures in Love 4 Andie, and The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. While we were not able to give the amounts we wanted this year, we were able to support the three equally, who are doing tremendous work supporting VEDS, and Aortic Health.
There is a lot of overhead when running a nonprofit, and since we don't sell anything, we couldn't do this without your support. Your donations make the Chalkbird Inc and The Chalkbird car possible. You are the true heroes behind the chalkbird, and you are saving lives.
If you didn't get a chance to donate and would like to join our team of heroes, you can still donate using the donate button. We would love to have you as part of our family.
