As we continue prepping for this summer’s Conference in Atlanta, we are constantly reminded that this gathering happens because of more than one committee, one sponsor, or one plan. It is built by the strength of this entire community. As you know (because this might be your experience), for many families, our conference is the first place to meet others who truly understand life with DCC. It is a place where children, teens, adults, parents, caregivers, researchers, and professionals can come together for connection, education, and hope. We know that it’s a place for families to finally feel less alone.
Right now, we are actively working to secure the support needed to make our conference meaningful, accessible, and welcoming for everyone who attends. We need your help. There are many ways you can get involved:
- Introduce us to a business, employer, foundation, or community group that may be
interested in sponsoring.
- Ask a local business to donate a gift card, door prize, welcome bag item, or service.
- Help us identify exhibitors who provide resources for families.
- Make a financial gift to help offset conference costs or support a family scholarship.
- Share our conference information with someone who may want to be part of this work.
No connection or donation is too small. A $25 gift card can become a door prize. A workplace introduction can lead to a sponsor. A shared post can reach a family who has never heard of NODCC. Every act of support helps create the conference experience our families need and deserve.
To help with conference sponsorships, local business outreach, in-kind donations, exhibitors, or family scholarship support, please contact Naomi ([email protected]).
